An update -
I purchased a “NEW” copy of MS Office Professional through eBay hoping that there was a bit more security after all of eBay’s assurances about cleaning its act up.
Well guess what? The product key sent to me would not activate the product as it had been used too many times according to the MS message. Not only that, the installation mangled my existing Office installation, so I spent ½ a day uninstalling, reinstalling, and reconfiguring my existing version.
Next step, claim back the cost from eBay.
