My computer hard drive crashed and I need to reinstall Front Page in a new
hard drive. When I use the CD and I get asked for the product key and I
install it I get the message invalid key althought I am entering the correct
one. How do I overcome this condition?

I am getting the product key from the label located inside the CD case where the software came in. The product key that is been refused is a 25 character combination of letters and numbers.

Even though you say you're entering the correct code, there are some
pitfalls to be aware of:

Similar looking characters (which might be confusing because of the font
used to print the code on the orange sticker). The common examples are

b and 6 (lower case 'b' and number '6')
B and 8 (capital 'B' and number '8')
1 and l (number '1' and lower case 'l') - these are the most look-alike and
probably cause the most confusion, depending on the font.

Double check your code carefully.

It wouldn't ask for product key -- just try reinstall to another hard drive BUT this time
use ProPlus.msi Icon found inside your CD root. Are you trying to install in Vista PC?
If you make one back-up CD -- try use that (without BIG circular scratches mark).

Hope it works on you as it always works for me ;o)
