Not sure what you mean by activate. When installing Office suites an installation key is required. That should be all you need to use Office. If you imaged the Office install to the current location then I suggest you reinstall it. edit
If Office 2003 requires activation like WinXP you must have had a time framd to activate. If that is the case then a call to MSoft would be in order.

Sounds like the ubiquitous Trial version of MS Office 2003 installed on many OEM PC's at one time. Often came on a CD which also included MS Works. MS Works was a "keeper", but Office 2003 was a (30-day?) trial version.
The Help/Activate still shows up on a fully-functional version, and can be ignored.
