Hi guys,
I recently lost all my OS data after a HD crash. Its now up and running again, but obviously everything needs to be reinstalled. Unfortunately I only have the MS Office disc and don't have the product key which seems to be required to reinstall. Is there any way around this? Use someone elses key?
Thanks

Sadly not. There are "utilities" that will provide you with keys but using these consists of software piracy.0

Panic over. The nice guys at MS gave me a new key. Yes I'm amazed!!! :-)0

Now that is a turn up for the books. They are never normally helpful like that.0

The nice guys from Microsoft have authenticated several copies of Windows for me
Obviously all legal.

Always have been in my experience. I've never once had a bad experience with MS customer service. They certainly get a lot of stick though merely for being MS."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"
