Simple English when asking a question is more appreciated than an attempt
at
humor.
A Simple answer to a Question is always more appreciated than a scolding -
Don't like attempts at humor
then don't be surprised if instead I offer youo an attempt at anger!
What did you buy, and what is the exact problem. Insert the CD and see
what
version you have that you are having the problem with.
I already told you what I bought and the question is about the proceedure
not whether it is version
1.0.3.0.43.0.9 or 1.9.4.5.6.7
Sounds like if I give you the exact version you will give me the same non
answer anyway!
Next time I ask a question don't answer, since most of the answers following
yours were at least somewhat helpful

After furious head scratching, Mike Peters asked:
| Before I get too far off my subject - my question is
| Is it worth my time to Call Microsoft to try to do this!
|
| I bought Office 2000 or Whatever it was called in 2003
| The Computer I had at the time Choked and could not load it.
| (Dinosaur) Time Passes - Dinosaur Dies, I finally got a new Computer
|
| Looking through all my old stuff I come across the Office CD complete
| with Pretty Holograms so it cannot be duplicated or forged. A real
| Honest to goodness legal copy- Horay!
|
| The Problem is - It's not in the Original Case, and Looking at
| EVERYTHING I own
| (I know I packed it all and put everything in storage and moved
| across the country) I have no Idea what happened to the silly Jewel
| Case) Which is where the CD Key is located.
|
| I know there are Pirated CD Keys on the net, but that won't fly since
| they use the activation step.
|
| Now back to the question - Is it worth calling Microsoft to register
| this, will they work with me if I scan or fax a Picture of me holding
| the original CD? Is the Hologram of any value whatsoever? Or will
| they shut me down for loosing the jewel case?
