I was given this dell desktop that has office 2003 on it. If the
computer
crashes and has to be formated, I dont have the disk to reinstall it.
Where
can I get a copy of it.

You say you were "given this ...desktop". Does this mean by someone
within your own family? If not, you would be violating the EULA
"contract." Student and Teacher is only to be used on up to three
computers within the same household.

From the EULA for this product: "1. 1Installation and use. You may
install a copy of the Software on three personal computers or other
devices in your household for non-commercial use by people who reside
in your household. "

From further in the EULA: " (b) The license granted herein for
use of the Software is a personal learning license intended only for
non- commercial purposes by Qualified Educational Users and members of
the same household as the Qualified Educational User."

Now, if you do qualify for the license, what happened to the disk that
was used to install the software? If you can provide Microsoft proof
of purchase, it may be replaced by using the instructions he
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302822/en-us - While this site does
not say that S & T version is a replaceable item, hopefully they will
have information to help for the replacement disk. Of course if you
have a legal use, you can find someone else that has the original disk
and make a copy of the same version.

Missed the follow-up from the OP about Wife's job, but the rest still
holds true about use of the software - non-commercial use only.

And how would MS know if you violated either clause in the
unconscionable EULA?

Alias

I'd suggest the Amazon.com route before anything else.

So what do you recommend that I do. I just bought office 2007 for my HP
computer, do I have to got buy another copy for the dell computer. I don't
mind buying another copy but the wife is a Teacher's Assistant and the
School
user's office 2003 and I worried about compatibility issues.

That version has been upgraded. You may still be able to find an old copy
on
Amazon.com or maybe eBay (even tho I don't recommend going that route).

Retrieve the Product ID for the copies of Windows and Office installed on
the Dell using Magic Jelly Bean KeyFinder or a similar program:

http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/prodkey.php

Just follow the links to the download, reading the comments as you go.
You need the Product ID to reinstall the software, assuming you find a
suitable CD. Write down all the Product IDs that are found by KeyFinder
and keep them in a safe place.



Once the OP has the Product key, then he can either buy a copy off Ebay or
get a friend to make a copy - it's not the media that matters, it's the
licence key....
I am thinking that it is actually the hologram Certificate of Authenticity
or the barcoded sticker with the Product Key that comes with some media
sets. If you had to prove you owned it, that is what you would need. With
downloaded software though, you could be right.
