This worked! I had a new key within 10 minutes. I can't tell you how happy
I
am. Seriously, you are a life saver! I wasted so much time trying to work
this out. I could have bought a new program considering what my time is
worth. Thank you thank you thank you!

got
your product key. NOW PUT IT SOMEWHERE SAFE AND REMEMBER WHERE.

(Not yelling. Well, maybe I am - but in a nice way.)

It actually worked. Off shore operator sent me to the wrong place and
I
was
on hold for 2.5 hours but finally used my cell phone, re-called and got
the
right people in seconds - had the email with the key moments later.

Telephone
(800) MICROSOFT (642-7676)

Start there but make sure you tell them that you cannot find your key
and
need the number for that department. (That service used to be free but
no
clue if it still is these days.)

And I am having a similar problem. However, I still have some uses.
But
can't get to the telephone activation screen, only get the screen
asking
for
the 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?
