Reading a Product Installation Key SirIsm 03.08.2006 05:57:01 I recently bought a Microsoft Office Home Use CD Pack through work. For the life of me I can't install as it is giving me an "invalid product key" message. Now the product key is printed right on the back so it must be that I'm "interpreting" the key incorrectly. Is there a translation key out there?
