Yöu can't "cut through" anything - you need the number to install. Contact
Microsoft if you purchased this via retail - if it is OEM, you need to
contact your computer manufacturer. I doubt that either venue will yield
you the installation ID as this software is non-supported by Microsoft and
your OEM probably will balk.
