If it's still installed on your computer, download Belarc Advisor and get
the product key there. http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html If not and it's an OEM version, you need to contact your computer manufacturer. If not and it's a full retail version, contact Microsoft. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;823570 -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "gheavens" wrote in message ...

Lost CD-Key, But have original CD-Rom
If you read the End User License Agreement that comes with your
OEM copy of Office, you will find that the license only allows you to install the software on computer that the software originally came with, and you are not allowed to install the software on any other computer. Assuming you want the CD key to install the software on a new computer, then you need to purchase a new copy of Office for your new computer. gheavens wrote: Now I have had three PC's during the time that I have owned this product.

OEM means you're calling your computer manufacturer and I'd be willing to
bet that they won't help you. I've only ever heard ONE person say they had success when they called their OEM for a product number. One out of MANY. I'm sorry. I know that's not what you wanted to hear. Depending on the version, you might be able to buy an upgrade for Office and use that CD as your qualifying product. If you own Office 2003 then you'd have to wait until January 2007 for Office 2007 to be offered. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "gheavens" wrote in message ...

Lost CD-Key, But have original CD-Rom
If your system still running you can use special software to recover your Windows and Office key. Most of them support some versions of Windows and some other Microsoft products. Also there is a products like "Recover Keys" ( http://recover-keys.com/ ) that support all Windows and Office versions and 300+ of other major software packages.

JoAnn, I thought my OE was broke. Four reply posts by
IrynaB within 12 minutes with no OP post being displayed, just trying to get someone to go to that site. I really think you hit the nail on the head with the SPAM report. Just wish you had deleted IrynaB's message before you responded. "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ...

Sorry you're right. I should have - and if I could have, I would have
deleted them off of the server. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "LVTravel" wrote in message ... JoAnn, I thought my OE was broke.

Me too (delete off server.) Don't worry about it, we all
make small mistakes once in a while. We just hope we don't get caught in the big ones. "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ... Sorry you're right.
