all office applications now ask for a product code, via setup assi

[frustrated]

I have had my office applications since I have had my computor. first, all my
applications stared calling themselves itunes plugin and that would crash my
computer. Now, all office applications ask for a 25 digit product code to
open. I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE AND DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO LOCATE IT! ( short
of the original packaging) I am so frustrated, and can't seem to get any
answers.
Any sugestions!?!

You would have had one otherwise you wouldn't have been able to install
Office in the first place (unless you have a pirated version that has been
cracked so it doesn't require one). Even vendor-supplied OEM licences require
an installation/activation key. So to say you've "never had one" is BS.

Did you read the post? Or where you as usual, quick to condemnate? It could
have been preinstalled on her system and she says she has the original
packaging. You should know all about pirated software

May I ask you, frustrated, what version of Office do you have? What
applications started to call them self iTunes plug-in? Did you install
iTunes and the problem started after that? Can't you contact the ones who
provided you with the PC? Have you searched your PC for parasites? If not,
you should really do it with the programs provided below.
