Office Professional for Windows 95

When I try to load this software on my new computer which
run XP Home edition, when I try to type in the Product
key, I get an error.

My question is that where is the "product key" ?
On the CD case, there is a yellow sticker that
only has 10 digits 070-8xxxxxx. However, when
I try to load one of the applications, I get asked to
type in the "product key" number into the form. On the
form there are 25 numbers separated by a dash after each
5 numbers. so I seem to be stuck in trying enter a valid
product key number . Need help!

Hi,

You can also choose to activate your product by talking to a customer
service representative over the telephone, please note that it may take
longer to complete the process.
OR If you choose to activate your product through the Internet and you are
not already connected, the wizard will help you get connected.

Thank You...

If you have MS Office v7/95 then the yellow sticker should show 11 digits along with the "CD Key" words and there wouldn't be any
product activation.

If you have Office 2000 or later you're installing you would have 25 digits.

Are you sure that the CD you're using and the program that's popping up are all from the same version? Check in Add/Remove Programs
in the Windows control panel to see what Microsoft Office applications and versions are listed.
