Hard drive crash lost all Office 2003 apps

[Andy C Ford]

Had to reinstall XP and have lost All Office 2003 apps. Purchased them in
2005 and have no disks or key codes except for 60 day trial. All Word/Excel
docs are on Maxtor back-up external drive but no apps. Doesn't Microsoft have
my regestration info? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IF you have a receipt you have a fighting chance. And no Microsoft
doesn't track you or you purchases.

No MS doesn't, to obtain replacement media you would need to provide proof
of purchase (that assuming you purchased a retail version & it wasn't a
version supplied with your PC)
Perhaps you now see how important it is to keep disks, or other installation
media, together with codes in a safe place

Great i am in th a same boat. i have now changed my mind and buying a new
computer from Apple. I am sick and tired of MS. I will set up open office on
this computeras a back up rather than pay them another $400

So YOU lost your key code and software and it is Microsoft's fault? Welcome
to Apple.
