    You could try downloading Belarc Advisor from the link below. It only downloads Belarc and not any other crap. Then after possible updating check down the list for your licences under Word 2003. :cool:

    That's all well and good - if the OP still has the original computer. ;)

    Strangely enough the top one is the serial of my Office 2003 Pro which cost an arm and a leg then. Are they being dished out for free now? :cool:

    I would not recommend using the above serial numbers. Unless of course you are happy at using an illegal/ probably blocked number by microsoft!



    If you have got rid of the computer, and dont have the licence key there is nothing you can do, depending on the OS of your new computer Office 2003 might not even be compatible anyway.

    Many versions of Office 2003 have static activation keys it doesn't phone home like the later ones, I don't expect there to be too many diff keys.

    Looks like it might be BBDHM but 2003 is obsolete now so don't even know if you can phone MS and get it reactivated online:D
  • I was going to send you my key because I don't use Office 2003 anymore but you are not accepting private messages so I can't.
