If you have the CD, call MS @ 1-800-936-5700, press 0 for customer service.
Explain you lost the key but have the CD. If it's a retail copy you will most
likely be charged $10 for a replacement key. If it came with a computer, it's
free. But do call, hours are Monday to Friday 5am-9pm PST and Saturday &
Sunday 6am-3pm PST.
