Office XP professional

[drandall]

I had to have my hard drive reformatted and lost my
product key for my office XP pro. I can install it but
when I try to open one of the application, it asks me for
the product key which I do not have. One of the other
responses mentioned a'jelly bean' software code, what is
that? I have the media content cd installed, is it the
same product code? It askes for 25 digits but ones I
found using the microsoft instruction page are longer? Is
there a way I can find this key?

The magical jellybean program only works on drives that have not been
formatted. If you purchased this version at retail, you can contact
Microsoft for a replacement key. If you purchased it with your computer, you
can contact the OEM.

To obtain a replacement PID for a lost Microsoft installation ID, contact
either Microsoft (if purchased retail) or the computer manufacturer if the
software came with the computer.

You can contact MS (800) 360-7561 about obtaining a replacement PID..

Hope this helps.

can't afford to go and buy another CD.

Microsoft will *NOT* assist you. Milly only said that because she didn't
know it was OEM. All support - including replacement keys and media - for
OEM supplied software is the responsibility of the manufacturer. Microsoft
does not, will not and, indeed, cannot assist with OEM licences.
