together with the note that there is no way to be sure it will still be the
same when you make the call. However, I decided that reply was too
smart-xass-like even for me.
So, on to plan B-
When you choose to do the product activation and choose to do it by phone,
the appropriate numbers should be part of the information presented to you
on-screen.
This might be it -I don't live in the UK and so have never tried it.- 08000
188 354 Probably, you could use the general UK support number and get it
from them.
Good luck.

already and I've just formatted and used that route again but all is not
going well with my IE so I may have to bite the bullet again (bang goes
another 4 days getting it the way I like it) and just wanted to check with
them first there would be no problems given I only done it a few days ago

That can be a difficult place to "hang around". It gives literal meaning to
"racked with pain".
OK OK, I'll stop now.

You might prefer to be suspended upside down in a barrel of malmsey wine
as one unfortunate encumbent at the Tower was after being attainted for
Treason!

better by disabling the feature that suggests you activate immediately you
have finish installing and then run he software for 'at least' 21 days
before even considering activation. Within this period you will find out
what is working and what is causing problems. Should any problems then arise
you can re-install again and follow the same procedure. It is pointless
activating so early is you are getting problems so soon after installation.

download/install them, and of course I want the machine as up to date as
possible

Off-topic, but very quickly, there's info here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princes_in_the_Tower
If you don't know the book, I highly recommend Josephine Tey's "The
Daughter of Time."

No they don't - I've just done the same thing and did NOT have to activate
before I could download all the security updates....OFFICE updates are a
different matter....

You are off topic
The incident to which you refer did not occur at the Tower of London and
was not for an act of treason.
