Product Key?
Jenn 11.07.2006 00:31:02
My laptop recently crashed and I need to reinstall my office student/teacher
edition. I had originally converted it online after my trial expired. Now
in order to reinstall it, I need the product key and can't find it. Is there
any way to find this product key now?

I assume they sent you an email. Didn't you keep that?

I sasve most of my messages in my general email inbox, but I ordered it a
year ago when I bought the laptop. I searched my email and it automatically
erases after a year. So, nope I don't have it in email. I thought it should
be on the case somewhere, but I can't find it. Wouldn't Microsoft have
record of my online purchase? I'm shocked it's not in the cd case at all.

Why would it be on the CD case if you converted it online?
It is your responsibility to keep this information in a safe place and
backup your system.
I don't mean to be harsh, but you seem like you might just be trolling for a
free key.

Nope, that is NOT what I'm doing. I'm just trying to figure out if there's a
way to get the key from Microsoft if they have record of the online
conversion because I'm sure they have record of mailing me the CD. I realize
that I should have printed the email, but I didn't so before paying the
$149.00 for a new one, I thought I'd double check just to make sure. I am an
HONEST person! One shouldn't judge!! :)

No, they don't keep it. The public screams enough about the info Microsoft
has about their systems. If they kept a record about who owns which version
of their software all hell would break loose.

I'm a bit confused about your original post. Just because a system crashes
doesn't mean you've lost Office. What exactly happened and what exactly did
you do? My answer changes depending on how you respond.

What email program are you using? If Outlook, then look for an archive .pst
and open it in Outlook (File->Open->Outlook Data file) and look for your
email there. Then copy it to your notes where it should be available - as
well as print it out and keep it with your valuables. I would burn a copy
of the installation files as well, then mark the PID on the CD. YOu can
never be too careful.
