Office 2010 beta Product Key Activation

I have installed office 2010 a couple of weeks ago. It worked fine so far.
For a couple days now, whenever opening an office program (excel, word,
outlook, etc.), the program keeps asking me for the product key, which I
inserted already during the initial installation process. When following the
instructions to change the product key, the program starts a re-installation
rather than just verifying the product key and finishing the activation
process.
Thanks for any help !
