Default Can't register Office 2000 - I can use it only 30 more times!

I could have used a Happy Hour on Tuesday. It was a hideous day at work.
Upper management (#2 man at plant) wanted something done ASAP and my boss
assigned me to pull the task together for his apsect of the project. I
managed but we had only one hour and the person I was working with doesn't
understand the meaning of "crunch time". I got the job done but it took
about an hour and a half. I was looking for a double Long Island iced tea.
(I went home and crashed early.)

Ah, ain't Happy Hour a grand invention? I have used it often myself.

||
|| ACTIVATION is required. that's where you punch in the 25 digit key in

||||| Thanks, Milly. Yours is the first response that appears to

||||| my legally purchased Office 2000 will become useless if I continue
||||| to use
||||| it
||||| without registering it. However, I still can't figure out how to
||||| register.
||||| Summarizing from my original post:
|||||
||||| * I tried the Internet option and it said server down (or
||||| unavailable).
||||| * After a few hours and several tries I opted for the email
||||| option. I got
||||| a
||||| return that said a code had been emailed to me. I never fot the
||||| code * Now when I try to register the Internet option is not even
||||| available -
||||| only register by telephone.
||||| * I tried the telephone number provided by the wizard and I get
||||| someone in
||||| India that says the number is only for activation - not
||||| registrateio. After
||||| a lengthy discussion, I'm referred to a customer service number
||||| * I call customer service (another foreigh national) I am given
||||| the number
||||| provided by the wizard (where no help is received.
||||| * I go to MSFT newsgroup commuiteis (here) and a discussion gets
||||| started
||||| on
||||| whether or not registration is really required.
|||||
||||| The sites to which you refer are primarilly for volume and
||||| educational licensing, and anti-piracy. I'm still looking for a
||||| way to register my single copy. Maybe if I uninstall my copy of
||||| Office and reinstall it It
||||| will
||||| allow the Internet option again?
