4439 2000-04-09 04:13:00 I am helping a friend of mine with a problem that he has with MS Office 97, in particular, Access. It was bundled with his computer when he bought it and was pre-installed. It worked fine until one day a dialogue box would come up saying that it could not run as there was no licence for it on his machine. I tried re-installing it to no avail. He rang Microsoft support, but as he had used thier on-line registration, they of course had no record of him registering his software and wanted to charge him.

What is this licence that access is looking for and how does he get it back?

All other office apps work just fine.

Thanks for your help.

I'm getting the same message having had to reinstall Office 97 Pro to fix a Word Problem.

Did you find a fix ??
Thanks

4441 2002-12-09 03:27:00 I have a registry fix for this Access Licence problem .
Copy and paste the following into a new file and call it access . reg . Then run the file and say yes to merging it into the registry . Then restart your PC and all should be good . :)



REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\8CC49940-3146-11CF-97A1-00AA00424A9F]

4442 2002-12-09 21:25:00 I had the same problem after trialling Office 2000 for someone. Message came up after I had deleted and reloaded '97.

M$ Knowedge Base has a fix - Q141373 - which does not require editing the registry.

Worked for me. Good luck !
