[newbie] Staroffice install help

[Ripcrd6]

And this for single user.  Not sure what has changed with the registration
process now that Sun Microsystems owns Star Div., but previously you had to
create a key for each user at their website by entering personal info such
as address and name, etc.  That passed through an algorythim to create a
unique key to start the program.  Mess up one space or puncuation and you
have to be able to reproduce that error exactly to get the install to work.
Basically have to retype the info before the prog. launches the first time.
