where is the product key stored?

[Richard Johnson]

**Hi

I had bought Pub 2007 and installed it in 2 of my computers...

I have had to change the hard drive in one as it was dying and cannot for
the life of me find my orignal discs...

Can I download a new copy and use my existing product key from the other
still working copy to validate it

If so - where will I find it the key on the computer?

If not, how can I go about this other than buying a new copy? Having
registered it I presume that there is a mechanism for contacting MS and
getting help... or is there not?
