I've never had to "activate" Office 2000. It DOES need the "CD key" which was provided with the kit when you purchased it in order to "install". (25 alpha-numeric characters, in form of "xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx".) However, I think that Microsoft experimented with activation of Office 2000 in a few nations. Since Office 2002 (Office XP), Microsoft has required all new versions of Office to be activated. Please try to separate "installation" from "activation" in your thinking. What you call the "activation code" should be referred to as the "CD key", used to install the program. All versions of Office are required to be installed using this "CD key." "Activation" is a separate process, which has nothing to do with installing Office, and only applies to SOME distributions of Office 2000, and ALL distributions of Office XP or Office 2003. If you are UNABLE to boot to Windows, you will have to fix that before you can reinstall Office 2000. In addition, Microsoft no longer supports Office 2000, so you will be UNABLE to get a replacement disc or a new CD key from Microsoft. If you ARE able to boot intoto Windows, AND Windows 2000 is currently installed on your HD, you can possibly use the Magic Jellybeans Key Finder to recover your Office CD key from the Registry.

Also MS does not support Off2000 anymore. If you cannot find the key to =
install it then you would then need to either find someone on EBay or = similar that is selling their Off 2000 or purchase Office XP or 2003 --=20 Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.
