I'm running a small network and upgraded all the users to OS.X and
office v.X (from OS.9 and office 98). However, in only on of the
computers on the network I get an error message saying that I exceeded
the number of licences although I used different license keys.
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 331935 (exactly my problem)
recommends installing an update but the problem was not resolved even
after the update installation.
Can anyone please help, any idea will be highly appreciated. I spent
too many hours trying to resolve the issue with no success. Thanks.

Make sure you've applied the latest updates to each machine. Download and
install the Office X 10.1.2 update, free from Microsoft.

Yes, Microsoft changed the link structure at Mactopia so many of the old
links no longer work. You should be able to locate the 10.1.2 update from
this page:

Yeah, MacTopia has just been updated :-))
The new link for the 10.1.2 update is:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/D
OWNLOAD/OFFICEX/OfficeX_1012.xml&secid=5&ssid=11&flgnosysreq=True
and if you also need 10.1.3, you'll find it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/D
OWNLOAD/OFFICEX/OfficeX_1013.xml&secid=5&ssid=13&flgnosysreq=True

PS: watch out for the carriage returns in the post, you can get all
updates through:
