Having MM reset the authorization can't happen till tomorrow at the earliest- if they will. If Manage Authorizations is not available, going back to 10.4 isn't going to fix it. Old forum posts indicate that 2004 can run over 10.5. I discovered it by accident when my 1994(?) Upgrade did not include a key code so I typed in Upgrade and it worked!

If you are running a tower and the boot disk was changed from one drive position to another, you will experience this. Some of the earliest Intel Mac Pros may be hackable to where it might be doable but I wouldn't take the time. If it's a PPC, don't bother-can't be done.
