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!

I use non Microsoft products wherever possible which requires no activation.
I use Netscape 7.2 as my default browser which has everything I need for my work.
I believe in good Financial Management!! I do not believe in enriching rich jerks!

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
