can't install office 2003, won't accept product key

[Dave B]

I had work done on my computer and the office 2003 was not re-installed.
I've tried numerous times to enter the product key but, it won't accept it.
What do I do now?

 

[Bob I]

Are you using the correct key? It is NOT the one stuck to the case of
the computer. And if it is the correct one, are you reading it
correctly? 8 not a B, 6 not a G etc.

 

[Dave B]

I've re-read the key so many times I'm going NUTS. I've got it right and I'm
still stuck.

 

[Bob I]

Where did you get the key from? It should be with the CD.

 

[Dave B]

Bob, I got the key from the back of my Gateway, just like it said on the
installation message. It had the microsoft logo with it. Any ideas what I
can do?

That's your WINDOWS key.....

You skipped over the part where I told you.....
"It is NOT the one stuck to the case of the computer."

Get the correct key from the container that the media cam in.
