Symptom: On Windows Vista or Windows 7, each time a Microsoft Office program is launched the user is asked to accept the license agreement. This will typically happen on versions of Office older than 2007.
Problem: Due to the difference in the way that user rights are handled in Windows XP and Windows Vista/7, older versions of Office don’t run with the required rights to change the necessary registry keys indicating that the license agreement has been accepted.
Solution: Launch each Office program that is exhibiting this behavior by right-clicking on the icon and choosing “Run As Administrator”. Accept the license agreement. Subsequent launches should no longer cause the prompt.
