You must accept the Office End User License Agreement every time that you start an Office program

Every time that you start a Microsoft Office program, such as Microsoft Office Word, the End User License Agreement dialog box appears. If you click I Accept, the End User License Agreement dialog box disappears and then reappears. If you click I Accept again, the End User License Agreement dialog box disappears, and the Office program functions as expected.

This behavior occurs if your user account does not have permissions to modify the Microsoft Windows Registry.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, follow these steps:

1. Log on to the computer by using a user account that has administrative credentials.
2. Start an Office program, such as Word. The End User License Agreement dialog box appears.Note For Windows Vista, click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Office, right-click an Office program, click Run as administrator, and then click Continue.
3. Click I Accept.
4. Exit the Office program that you just started.
5. Repeat step 2 to step 4 for the other Office programs that still prompt you with the EULA.
