Microsoft Office Activation Issue

I was running bootcamp with Window XP before I went to Fusion. I had MS Office 2003 installed and activated on the bootcamp install. When I loaded Fusion I used my bootcamp partition and eveything works great except for MS Office. When I try to use Office in Fusion it says I need to activate software even though it was activated in bootcamp. Of course if I just try to activate the copy of office it tells me I have used all my licenses. Has anyone had this issue and what can I do to correct it.

Thanks

This has been reported earlier and seems to be an issue with the way Office handles the underlying activation mechanism. VMware is aware of this issue.
