Default Product Key Office 2003

Hi,



Had to reinstall Windows XP recently due to a virus.

I went to reinstall Office 2003 but I can't find the product key, I think my daughter has thrown it out.

The disc is genuine microsoft. What can I do?

Thanks

Unfortunately if you have already reformatted your hard disk, there's not much hope of recovering your key. The Office CD is in no way associated with your specific license, and Microsoft isn't going to be able to provide your license to you.

Hi Seamus,

The Product Key is on the CD Jewel case the software came in.

If you've lost that, try giving MS Office Support a call - they have a replacement scheme that might help. See, for example: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/he...001150834.aspx

Thanks for this.

I managed to get hold of a telephone number for microsoft. I gave them a ring, they answered really quickly, asked me a couple of questions & gave me a new product key.

The person stayed on the phone with me while I installed Office 2003.

A little while later, I got an unexpected follow up call, asking me if everything was ok with it, he went through testing it with me to make sure it was working ok.

Brilliant service.

Wow, that's good to hear. It sounds like Microsoft's support is improving. I hope it has done so across the board.
