new computer, lost certificate of authenticity

[Terri Nutter]

My daughter's computer is crashing, we are installing a new one... am trying
to get Office 2003 loaded as we have already saved all of her class work
files. It is asking me for my code from the certificate, yet I can't find
this certificate anywhere. Any ideas on where else I can find this code
would be appreciated...she's in the middle of an end semester project and
needs to access these files a.s.a.p

That is the 25-digit number that was on a florescent orange sticker on the
CD case. It also said don't lose this sticker.

Lose is not the same as misplace or dump.. maybe Microsoft should make
reference to all three.. of course, other reasons will then be found..

You need to run Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder v1.5B3 software to get this
from your existing one before you wipe everything:

You have to use the beta version as this is the only one that can get
Office 2003 PID. Click on the download button and extract the file
somewhere in a temp folder and run from there.
