Switching Machines-- Lost Product Key
World's Best GSA 12/14/2008 7:38:08 PM
Hello Everyone- I have a laptop running (Vista) MS Office with Word, PPT,
OneNote, Excel, and Outlook (all MS Office 2007). I am about to buy a new
laptop with Vista and want to use those same programs on my new laptop. 2
Questions: Am I able to run all these programs on two different computers? I
have lost the Product Key but have the Product ID. I know I need the key to
activate these programs-- Is there anyway to get a new key/figure out my old
one? I thank you in advance.

Have you tried to Google it? I have in the past and was able to retrieve all
used keys implemented on the pc.
There are 3rd party freeware prms that work for this problem.

Depends on the Eula . That will tell you on how many systems you can have it
installed on

Use http://www.belarc.com/ba5.html?B to find your Office key on your present laptop
or desktop. Download the program and it will show all your license keys which you
can then use to activate the product over the Net or by Telephone.

Depends on the EULA in your version of Office
Since you have lost the key, which would have been afixed to the Office CD,
I would suspect that your version of Office was supplied with your previous
Laptop, in which case you cannot install it on another
