How do I load Office 2000?

[Dwight1961]

My computer crashed so I'm starting all over. I do not have the Office 2000
book with the required codes it ask for at the beginning. Is there a way to
install without the codes from the back of the Office 2000 book?

 

[JoAnn Paules [MVP]]

The code is not in a book. It was on a sticker that said "Do not lose this
sticker".

Did your copy of Office come preinstalled by your computer manufacturer or
did you buy it separately?

 

[Dwight1961]

On the back of the Office 2000 Manual/Book that came with my computer, there
were codes on the sticker. Unfortunately, I've misplaced or thrown it out. Is
there any way to load my software into my computer again without the
number/letter codes?

Is there any way to load my software into my computer again without the
number/letter codes?

Step 1. Put your CD in the CD-ROM and begin the Setup routine.
Step 2. You are asked to provide the Product Key.
Step 3. Type in a random set of numbers and letters.
Step 4. Click the "Continue" button.
Step 5. If you got the sequence of numbers and letters wrong , you will
be pushed back to Step 2.
Step 6. Continue Steps 2 through 5 until you hit upon the correct
sequence of numbers and letters.*
* This process may take 20 to 30 years of continuous activity upon your
part.

Not on my current computer. My previous computer was pre loaded and it also
came with the two-cd microsoft office 2000 small business version which I
loaded on my current computer last year. I had the cd-key codes then but as I
explained earlier, I threw the codes out or misplaced them. Now I'm just

the codes were used for a reason, but there still should be a way to load

You can't install it on another computer. When you purchase an OEM version,
it lives and dies on the computer that it came installed on. That's why it
cost less than full retail.

Your only option now is to buy a retail version of Office 2003.

Actually, you can install it on a lot of computers. If you have the software
and the codes, it can be done because I did it just last year. If I had the
key codes I wouldn't have come here to this site in the first place. Joann,
do you work for microsoft? I find it hard to believe that you do. If you did,
you would have known that with the codes, most computers built after 2000
could load the office 2000 software or download it from the Microsoft site
for a price. Amazing.

If you read the EULA, you would see that it cannot be installed on another
system. If you do, you are stealing the software, plain and simple. Of
course, little things like theft don't seem to bother some people.

And no, I don't work for Microsoft.

Since I own it, I wouldn't need a group to pirate for me. Maybe you should
have read this thread from the beginning. By the way, the software IS office
2000. It's not like anyone really wants it much these days. I just happen to
have the two discs that were sent with the computer I bought back in 2000.
That computer is gone and the new one I have I was able to load the software
last year. I don't have the keycodes anymore because the manual that they
were on got tossed. My bad. I doubt if you could have helped anyway.

None of work for Microsoft. I suspect you need a mewsgroup for software

[Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]]

I have read the entire thread and I think that what you got was a retail
purchase (not OEM) with your prior computer - i.e., purchased separately and
not as a part of the computer package as a pre-installed component.

As such, you may find the following article applies to you - I know that
Microsoft does supply replacement PID installation codes -
You may find the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article applies:

How to Replace Lost, Broken, or Missing Microsoft Software or Hardware.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[ln];326246

The very last line tells you how to get a new installation ID. I hope you
were more careful with your receipt than the booklet!
