There is no workaround for pirated or stolen keys. Just for interest
sake, who told you that you need a product key "for downloading a
service pack 3"? Service Packs are for people who have fully licensed
products already installed on their system.

oh no sorry thats definately not the case, heres the thing when trying to
download the sp3 it says i require the original cd and that if i do not have
it i can call the people i purchased my computer of and request for them. i
do just that (as i did not receive a pack upon purchasing, something i was
unfamiliar with) and explain the situation only to be told that i have a
product key number on the side of my tower (Authentic of course) and that
this will help me. i hope thats more clearer, sorry bout the misunderstanding

OK then you need to download the full file version from here:

To install SP3 without the original Office XP CD:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...esults.aspx?Scope=DC&Query=office+xp+sp3&App=

OR from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...289-8BD1-EB966BCDFB5E&displaylang=en#filelist

It is the big file you need: 57.5 mb

You have Office XP right? SP3 only applies to Office XP.

Ok, many of the Office service packs do require the original CD to
install the service pack. You are going to have to take this up with
the people you bought Office from (or your computer, if it was an OEM
copy). You should have received a CD.
