Opening Publisher

Morning All,
I work for a company that has got a load of lisenced office disks.
One of them is publisher, I have installed this before and never had any problems.
I recently had to format my PC, and when I tried to install publisher ( which worked fine ), then run it ( this is where I had the problem ), it is asking for a product key. I have never had to put a product key in before so why is it asking now ?
It is only asking for the product key when you run the program. Not when you install it.
The company hasn't got a product key for this disk, but we have got one for office XP. (Publisher isn't on office XP)

Where do I get a product key ?
Who do I phone/e-mail ?

If anyone can help it would be truly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Simon

Look around the office for a Certificate of Authenticity. Well organized offices will
have this on file somewhere.
