My son is enrolled at college and students there get software to upgrade their computers. The Office 2003 disk has the name of the school and says "full version". When we installed it did not need a "key". How is this possible?

Its a corperate or student edition. Microsoft puts out all their stuff as "corperate" and "student" editions that dont require activation so that a school or business can puchase a bulk license to put it on as many computers as they need to.
In most cases, the assigned serial number is "slipstreamed" into the installation so you dont have to worry about typing it in over and over for multiple installations.

Those are known as Corporate versions of software.. The college paid extra for those type licenses

That is student edition and the serial number may be built into the set up programming to make downloading easy. Dont worry it is still there.
