Office 2000 lost product ID

[LarrySir]

I need to reactivate my old computer. I was going to
reload my Office 2000 on it, but can not find my product
ID. I have registered this software with Microsoft before.
I understand there is aphone number I can call to get the
ID back. Can anyone help me??

Thanks

You don't need to activate Office 2000 but you still need a product serial

number to install. If you don't have the serial number then you can do one
of three things:

1) Use MagicalJelly to obtain from your existing computer in which you

have Office 2000 still installed. Magicaljelly can be downloaded from:
http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml

2) You coul hack your install CD by altering one fil in Notepad so that

you can bypass product serial number insertion. Effectively, you make your
Cd as if it is a volume Licensed one so no need for the serial number. this
only applies to Office2k (not XP nor 2003).

3) You could phone Microsoft in your own country but you will need access

to your existing system on which you can read out PID from Help/About box!
This I find unacceptable to be interrogated by a MS idiot!

You can then pass on the CD to your best mate who too can install Office

2k in his/her PC so that you can share life as well as files!

Hey thanks for your info... But I was not clear enough..

My old computer was in bad shape, so I did a reformat and
now I am trying to get it all reloaded. On my new computer
I have Office 2003, and do not have Office 200 currently
on any computer. It was on this machine prior to me
reformatting, but sadly I goofed in not writing down the
product ID. It would seem that since I previously
registered this osftware, someone should be able to tell
me the ID.

Also, since this is my software and I paid for it, I would
have no problem in "hacking" the system if that will get
me bck up and running. Only problem is.. I don't know how.

I need to reactivate my old computer. I was going to
reload my Office 2000 on it, but can not find my product
ID. I have registered this software with Microsoft before.
I understand there is aphone number I can call to get the
ID back. Can anyone help me??
