How do I get a valid FP2003 product ID?

L

lshirey

I just got a new laptop, I still have my registered copy of FP2003 on the old
PC. When I tried to install my FP2003 onto the new laptop, the product ID I
have on file, doesn't work.

Is there a way to locate the product ID from the copy on my old PC so I can
install on my new laptop before removing from the old PC?

Yeppers...but, there are some that belarc doesn't show though...so I went
the long way :)

Find the CD, and the jewel case which has the Product Key on it. Like it
says "DO NOT LOSE THIS NUMBER!!"

The number of people that says they've lost their CD keys....I've lost
count.

Download Belarc Advisor (Google it), it can tell you among other things the
CD keys for all the software installed on your system.

No you won't. That's the Product ID, not the Product Key. Two different
animals.

I think the OP might have used the wrong terminology. ;-)

Yah...I noticed that after I had replied.

I've also noticed that Belarc will reveal the key code for only some
programs and not others, I guess it depends on how/where the keycode is
stored.

Thanks to all for the help. Indeed, I used the wrong terminonogy in my
original post. It was the CD Product key I'm looking for.

As with all my other sw, I copied the CD Key info to my sw registration
list, but can only assume I mistyped it as it doesn'twork now. I'll try the
Belarc Advisor and let you know if it works for FP. Thanks again for all the
rapid input, first time I've used this forum, very impressive.

BTW, just out of curiosity, if I can't get the Product Key witht the above
method, is there a number at MS I can call. The CD was actually purchased
online from the MS online store. Thx.

Belarc found the CD Key for FP and all is good. I mistyped on of the
characters in my sw registration file. Also thanks for the support link,
great info if I ever have to fall back to contacting MS directly to replace
hw or sw.
