Re: HOW DO I OBTAIN A REPLACEMENT CD-KEY?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I've called the 800 number and you don't have to pay anything to get a new
product key. This is coming from someone whose been there, done that. Being
an MVP doesn't mean that you have always practiced the utmost care with your
CDs and keys. ;-)

JoAnn,

The 800 number that I have for Microsoft is "fee based", 800-936-5700, you
can only get help for a charge and you can only pay using a credit card.
Maybe I'm missing something here but that is what it said when I called
it.
If you have different information, please let me know.

Someone who wrote to me right before your response suggested that I
upgrade.
Ya know what, that is all fine and good IF I had the money to do so. If
an
upgrade is free, someone please let me know. I'm sure it's not tho.
Thank
you for your help and patience JoAnn, you've been great. Hope to hear
from
you soon if you have other phone info to give me for help. Joy

Yes, they are - or at least still were as of spring of this year. I
suggested she call but she said something about needing a credit card to
call an 800 number. I don't know why she would think that but I did
suggest
she call.

I'M DESPERATE, PLEASE ANYONE HELP IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. I simply cannot
afford to purchase another copy of Office 2000, that is just NOT
possoble.

Reading the answers it appears that you may not be able to replace the
key,
I'm not sure keys for Office 2000 are available any more?

Try this:

http://openoffice.org.

It's free and it's compatible to a great extent so give it a try and if
you
don't like it delete it. You'll be out nothing but some time.
