reloading ms office basic

I had downloaded Office Basic 2007 but had to reformat my computer so I lost
the download. I tried to download it again but can only get the standard
version not basic. My original key does not work with it. Anybody know how I
get it back without buying it again.

Assuming you purchased via Digital River you log back into your account and
see if you opted for the backup option.
If you didnt and have *proof of purchase* then try

If niether of these applies then you made an expensive mistake in not
oredering the backup cd or keeping a copy of your download file

DL - note that Office Basic is only available pre-installed from OEMs.
