Lost Product Key #

[bosstara]

I had a crash last week, and had to restore my macbook pro to factory
settings, and reinstall my Office for Mac student teacher edition
2004. The problem is i no longer have the product key so I can't
reinstall.

Does anyone know how to find that number without having to purchase a
new Office software package??

I would greatly appreciate any help or advice.

Thanks!!

The product key and CD key are two separate items. The CD key is needed to
re-install. When you install Office this key is stored in an invisible file.
If you have a backup of your User's folder, you can copy over the Microsoft
preferences and you shouldn't need to re-enter the key.

Using "Remove Office" removes this file.
