How can I find my product key if I don't have my original cd?

[Gordon]

My DELL laptop came with MSOffice 2003 Professional edition
installed. I purchased a hard drive upgrade and need to reinstall
MSOffice. I have the original OEM Product ID, but not the Product
Key. How do I go about getting the original OEM Product Key in order
to convert a trial copy of MSOffice 2003 Pro edition to a full legal
version?

Thanks

If you have a /trial/ version of Office then the ONLY way to convert to a
full version is to buy a licence! There should be details on the MS Office
website....

The OP already HAS an OEM version.

Also try this:
http://belarc.com/free_download.html

Now start STUDYING the OP's post before replying. You're trying to make
others get another license when they don't NEED it.

Thanks

If the OP installed a new hard drive, exactly how is a program,
such as Belarc, going to help when the new drive does not have
Office installed?

The only viable solution is to advise the OP to contact Dell
support and ask for a Product Key replacement. The odds
are they won't!

What the OP has/had is a pre-installed trial version that cost nothing..
what the OP wants is a full version of Office.. Belarc can't help.. the OP
requires installation media for which money in one form or another must
change hands..

yes and OEM versions are NOT /trial/ versions - now YOU study the original
post, dork.
