How did you install it in the first place as you have had to put the key in when installing it or any MS product as the key number will usually be on the package the CD came in or on the CD itself?  If you don't use it then just remove it from your computor by double clicking on my computor/control panel........in control panel click on add/remove and remove it\n\nAnyway here is link to some free utilities to locate the number on your pc if a number was used when you installed MS Office and you no longer have the case/sleeve MS Office came in\n\nhttp://sniptools.com/toolsreviews/find-lost-product-key-for-microsoft-office-and-microsoft-windows\n\nor do this\n\nTo find the ProductID information for Office (if available), follow these steps:\n1.Quit all Microsoft Windows programs.\n2.Click Start, and then click Run.\n3.In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.\n4.Expand the registry to the following key:\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;Software&#92;\nMicrosoft&#92;\nWindows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Uninstall\n5.In the Uninstall key, there may be a number of GUID keys that contain long names (a combination of alphanumeric characters).\n\nEach GUID is specific to each program that you have installed on your computer.\n6.Select a GUID, and then view the DisplayName in the right-side pane.\n\nIf the DisplayName is not your Office program, continue to the next GUID.\n7.After you find the GUID that contains your Office program, find the ProductID key and make a note of the Data column value.\n\nNote The ProductID for your version of Office may not appear in the Office GUID on your computer.

Are you talking about the serial number so that you can use the program?\n\nIf so, you can find it here:\nhttp://computer-tricks.blogspot.com/2006/05/microsoft-word-2002-office-2002.html\n\n\nIf you use a serial number that you found on the web, never register!!!

If you hadn't formatted I could have been of more help, I have a program that gives you the serial of an installed version of Windows - but you say that the hdd is formatted. \n\nYour options are - obtain an illegal key, or contact microsoft. \n\nDidn't you stick your product code on the box of your pc though? You are required to have your product key sticker stuck to your pc, if you bought the pc without this you restle with the company that sold it to you.

Well, it depends on the game. (maybe you should write the title of the game?) If you need  a product key, you probably need to buy the game, so that's probably what you need to do.\n\nI dont think we can dicuss warez here. X_X

Call customer support and let them know your trouble. They will usually give you help on it by either giving you a seperate code after you uninstall and install the software again, or if by any chance you did not validate the product when you first installed it, you may do so online, or just call them for a key code that your program may validate the software as being genuine ms office xp pro.

It probably came up with this message because when it installs, it has a list (I'm assuming) of blacklisted numbers. What this means is that somehow your Windows product key got out into the open, and Microsoft has discovered it and deactivated it. What I suggest you do is go to the following website: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/ww/windows/default.mspx. In this web page, it will validate your copy of Windows. If you bought the copy of Windows from some shady retailer or from some other shady place, or if you downloaded it illegaly, you can write to Microsoft and tell them your situation. If they are nice enough and your story is real, and they find out about it you are eligble for a fresh copy of Windows.

By license your PC must have that information on the outside of the case. Either on the back or underneath.\n\nThis should either be the Gateway serial key or your Microsoft authentication sticker.\n\nIf you have already reformatted then the alternative is no longer possible.\nIf the hard drive has not been reformatted then you could use Magic JellyBean to find your product serial key. This is legal for personal use and not for stealing keys. This program will not create new keys. It only finds the key already on your PC.

Microsoft Office does not come with all computers.  If your computer doesn't have it, you have to buy it or get your company to buy it.  Downloading the full copy for free is illegal.

If you have a legal "code" (OEM) for your copy of Windows, and it's not used on any other computer, call up Microsoft's technical support and speak to them.\n\nThey should be able to guide you through the process to validate your copy of Windows.\n\nThis has happened to me before and my solution worked.

This is a file that microsoft office uses...... get the disk for MS Office, and put it in the drive when it tells you to put it in.

This is saying that your windows version cannot be verified as legitimate. Also make sure you have Service Pack 2 on your PC. Without that, it cannot run. You also have to have enough space for it. If you have these things, you might have to email microsoft or yahoo about the trouble.\n\nBtw, I just downloaded myself today on my oldest PC to test it before putting it on my laptop. And so far I REALLY like it. It's a little unually looking, but once you take the tour to learn about the features, it's no harder to use that the old version. Plus, the security is better and it compacts the menu bars so you can see more on the screen. I think it's nice. I'm going to test it for these "bugs" they talk about before putting it on the laptop, but so far I see no problems.\n\nGood luck. I hope you can get it downloaded.

Is there a sticker on the back of the pc with the product key on it? There should be. Do you have the xp install disk?\nYou need one or both or you are out of luck. \n\nIf you have the sticker, key the product key from that sticker into the box. If that does not work, and you have the cd, try reinstalling xp and entering the product key from the sticker. \n\nIf you do not have a product key, you have no way in and you will have to buy a copy of xp or Me or 2000.

You've got to re-install office 2003.\n\nAnd\n\nThis is because you didn't put the CD-Key, did you?

double check what is written on the paper that came from Microsoft.  capital letter b's can look like the number 8, so make sure you read it carefully.  If it still doesn't work, then you need to get back to the place you purchased it.\n\nIf its not a closed package with a proper microsoft certificate and product key and you paid for it, someone gave you a stolen copy of Office.  If you downloaded it somewhere with a key, then thats illegal and you shouldn't complain.
