iWork is a suite of applications created by Apple Computer, containing a word processing and layout application (Pages), and a presentation package (Keynote). Although iWork was originally rumored to be an update or replacement for Apple's entry-level application suite AppleWorks, Apple is currently billing it as 'building a successor to AppleWorks' and it does not replicate the functionality of AppleWorks' spreadsheet, database, and drawing tools. Likewise, it does not compete directly with the Mac version of Microsoft Office, but instead offers tools with a different focus (presentation, rather than analysis) at a lower price. It is designed to integrate with existing applications from Apple's iLife Suite.
It is the first consumer product by Apple known to require a Serial number in order to run at all. AppleCare states that there is no master key, and that they cannot help users with serial number problems beyond the typical data entry tips, such as avoiding substitution errors.
