Missing Microsoft Office 2003 product key

I have Microsoft Office 2003 on an old computer that was given to me. Microsoft Office 2003 has never been installed on this computer but when I try to run it, it asks for Product Key.I never had the CD and the owner before me did not. How I can fnd the product key, or I can get around it somehow?

Hello Arnie,

You will need to contact the previous owner of the product key if he or she had brought the Office 2003 program. Incase if the program is not authentic and the previous owner is not a product key, then you can buy the Office Suite and then you can install it on the computer. You can get the latest Office Suite which is available in the following links:

Hope this information helps.

    If Office 2007 is not enabled (or it came only as a trial and the trial has expired), you may be able to buy the product to get a product key.  You can do this through Microsofthttp://store.microsoft.com/home.aspx or any what retailer (albeit with a retailer, you will need to purchase the full product rather than simply the product key).

    How can I get a product key for microsoft office 10?  Help!  Warranty is out says Microsoft computer company contact it was purchased from but cant seem to get any help.

    kdavis12508,

    When you say you have lost the product key, this means that you have lost the physical product box and the drive?

    product key real label is attached to a paper card, inside the plastic. Opening the case, remove the MS quick start guide to see the label.

    If you have MS Office installed, the key can be found with Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

  • With the help of Microsoft Office 2003 in Windows 7 that has been changed in Windows XP

    The company I work for recently had to buy a new computer because our hard drive crashed.  We were accustomed to using Windows XP, so the newcomer with Windows 7, but they managed to install Windows XP on it, which is good, since that's what we are used to.  However, the new computer came with OpenOffice and not Microsoft Word or Excel.  Some of the functionality is the same, but it is quite different and slows me down because the formatting of the documents is not the same and we don't have time to reformat all of our existing documents.  We have been using Word 2003 and Excel 2003.  Can someone tell me if buy us Microsoft Office 2003, if it will work on our existing Windows 7 with Windows XP change?  If so, our existing documents created in the 2003 version will remain unchanged or anyway should I reformat them?  Any help you can provide is MUCH appreciated.  Thank you!

    If your company has put Windows XP on it - which was a 100% wipe.  This computer has no idea that he had never Windows 7 top because it cannot read some sticker is on it (product key/certificate of authenticity), nor can it read the invoice which was purchased with it.

    When they suffered the (formatted) system and installed Windows XP pn it cleanly and updated it - they should have installed other software you needed in the context of your work.  Which probably included Office 2003.

    OpenOffice is free - anyone can get it.  If you own a license for Microsoft Office 2003, you do not - you might have installed on Windows 7, or you can install it on Windows XP now. (License and support).

    Hello

    No, this isn't the Office product key, it is the Windows product key. Your machine has preinstalled TRIAL version. If you want to continue using it you have to buy the electronic identity card. I really hate this practice from suppliers and ALWAYS uninstall the trial version on my computers. Please visit the following link to buy the product key.

    http://Office.Microsoft.com/en-us/buy/product-key-card-FX101850744.aspx

    You can pay a lot cheaper for the Home & Student version and much cheaper, with a student ID card.

    Kind regards.
