Odd Registry Entry

[Ricks]

After reading an article about the Software Protection Platform Service I was curious to see the registry entry. When I viewed it I saw that I had two entries of the same name but different values. I am curious to know if this can cause any problems?

Windows 7 64

Many thanks,
Ricks

These entries don't have the same names, there is a space in the start of the first.

First does Office work properly? Second, I checked my registry and the two keys are missing and my Office works fine.
