Hey Vishal,

After all that text in your message, you have answered the wrong question!! The question was about Office 2000 but you seem to have copied every thing verbatim from Microsoft knowledge base article which deals with Windows XP. We don't do this way in the UK especially when you have only succeeded in confusing the original poster!.

Do you mind giving just the link instead of copying and pasting in the body of the message! I hope you can understand this simple instruction.

Are you in Bangalore by any chance where the Indians have stolen jobs from British and other European workers!?

The answer you should have given is that Serial Numbers can be obtained from here:

Hope this proves useful.

I cannot install Microsoft Office 2000 Premium. When attempting to install
I'm asked under Customer Information for the 25-character number which is
found on the back of the CD on the yellow sticker. The yellow sticker
shows
a 10 digit number. I am unable to install my software.

RESOLUTION:
==============
product keysProduct keys are required for all versions of Windows XP, for
all languages, and for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Product keys are
25-character alphanumeric strings that are formatted in groups of five
characters, separated by dashes. You must enter the product key during
Setup to complete the installation. (If you acquired your computer from an
Original Equipment Manufacturer, the manufacturer may have preconfigured
the product key for the Windows XP software that is preinstalled on the
computer).

Windows XP requires you to keep your product keys always available for your
use and in a secure place. You must use only the product key assigned to
this installation of Windows XP if you ever need to reinstall the operating
system. If you attempt to use a product key from another Microsoft product,
a beta program, or a different version of Windows XP, your installation
will fail.

Each product key can only be used to install the software on a certain
number of unique computers. The actual number of computers depends on your
End User License Agreement. If you have received more than one product key,
it is essential that you keep track of which product key you use to install
the Windows XP operating system on each computer.

Automating the product key entry during Windows Product Activation
If you perform an unattended Setup, you can automate entry of the product
key. In the [UserData] section of your unattended answer file, include the
value of your product key in the ProductKey entry. For more information,
see the Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Reference, located in
\Support\Tools\deploy.cab on the Windows CD.

Windows XP provides two methods to automate activation.

If you perform an unattended Setup, you can configure the installation to
activate automatically during Windows Welcome or Mini-Setup. For more
information on unattended Setup, please see the Microsoft Windows
Preinstallation Reference, located in \Support\Tools\deploy.cab on the
Windows CD.

You can also use script activation through the Windows Product Activation
WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation), which provides a number of useful
query and activation methods.

Windows XP provides two methods to automate activation.

If you perform an unattended Setup, you can configure the installation to
activate automatically during Windows Welcome or Mini-Setup. For more
information on unattended Setup, please see the Microsoft Windows
Preinstallation Reference, located in \Support\Tools\deploy.cab on the
Windows CD.

You can also use script activation through the Windows Product Activation
WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation), which provides a number of useful
query and activation methods.

Hey Vishal,

After all that text in your message, you have answered the wrong question!! The question was about Office 2000 but you seem to have copied every thing verbatim from Microsoft knowledge base article which deals with Windows XP. We don't do this way in the UK especially when you have only succeeded in confusing the original poster!.

Do you mind giving just the link instead of copying and pasting in the body of the message! I hope you can understand this simple instruction.

Are you in Bangalore by any chance where the Indians have stolen jobs from British and other European workers!?

The answer you should have given is that Serial Numbers can be obtained from here:

This site was originally given to us by Michael Stevens MS-MVP (http://www.microscum.com/ns/mlslies/index.htm). Michael is a high time pirate who supplies link for tools to pirate M$ products. His site bears his name so it is not difficult to google it! I do not want to be part of his scheme to defraud M$.

Hope this proves useful.

Subject: CD Key number
Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 21:15:11 -0700
Newsgroups: microsoft.public.office.setup

I cannot install Microsoft Office 2000 Premium. When attempting to install
I'm asked under Customer Information for the 25-character number which is
found on the back of the CD on the yellow sticker. The yellow sticker
shows
a 10 digit number. I am unable to install my software.

RESOLUTION:
==============
product keysProduct keys are required for all versions of Windows XP, for
all languages, and for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Product keys are
25-character alphanumeric strings that are formatted in groups of five
characters, separated by dashes. You must enter the product key during
Setup to complete the installation. (If you acquired your computer from an
Original Equipment Manufacturer, the manufacturer may have preconfigured
the product key for the Windows XP software that is preinstalled on the
computer).

Windows XP requires you to keep your product keys always available for your
use and in a secure place. You must use only the product key assigned to
this installation of Windows XP if you ever need to reinstall the operating
system. If you attempt to use a product key from another Microsoft product,
a beta program, or a different version of Windows XP, your installation
will fail.

Each product key can only be used to install the software on a certain
number of unique computers. The actual number of computers depends on your
End User License Agreement. If you have received more than one product key,
it is essential that you keep track of which product key you use to install
the Windows XP operating system on each computer.

Automating the product key entry during Windows Product Activation
If you perform an unattended Setup, you can automate entry of the product
key. In the [UserData] section of your unattended answer file, include the
value of your product key in the ProductKey entry. For more information,
see the Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Reference, located in
\Support\Tools\deploy.cab on the Windows CD.

Hello David,

The initial information that I have attached is not to confuse the poster ,
but was some information about what product key is and how and why it
should be used - although I do agree that this information was with regards
to windows xp.Even then I am sure that the reader of the article will get a
good idea about what a product key is and why they should use it.Overall
the response that I have provided is with the intention of being
informative to the poster and not just answer his question. The latter part
of the article is very specific to the questions about office 2000 product
key and how the poster could go about obtaining it and as for the other
comments that you have made I have - NO COMMENTS. Am now waiting for MJ to
respond with any other questions that he may have.

Regards - Vishal
