Default Missing Product Key

Thank you for your response. I have followed these steps many times for
damaged or lost product keys. The problem I am having is when I go into an
Office program option menu where the resources are listed and click the
activate button, the 'enter your product key' screen comes up. Since i do not
have a product key and my 25 uses are all used up it will not let me proceed
into the activation wizard. Any thoughts or ideas from this point?

Thank you for your response. I have/had been to that page many times. When
I
click activate it again asks for my 25 letter product code. I click that I
will no be entering it now and it just goes back to the activation center,
but does not give me a phone number or way to contact MS about my product
key. Am I missing something? Thank you!

I had to reinstall all my programs after a virus issue and I do not have
my
Office product key. I do however have the disc and the receipt of
purchase (I
believe I also registered my program). Is there anyway to ask MS how to
get
my product code without being charged $99.95?
