New Office Package - Activation Without CD

[Damin]

I recently purchased a computer with Microsoft Office Home And Student
preinstalled (full version, not trial). It was right around Christmas and
I've yet to really need to Office package until now.

When I open a program it says I have 25 times to register with my product
key, unfortunately, during the christmas rush I must have thrown out the CD
and I know have no way to activate my package.

Is there any thing I can do to solve this problem?

I recently purchased a computer with Microsoft Office Home And Student
preinstalled (full version, not trial). It was right around Christmas and
I've yet to really need to Office package until now.

When I open a program it says I have 25 times to register with my product
key, unfortunately, during the christmas rush I must have thrown out the
CD
and I know have no way to activate my package.

Is there any thing I can do to solve this problem?

If the Office Suite came preinstalled, it should be on a Recovery Partition,
typically Drive D:\. If you have a Drive D:\, look to see if it is the
recovery partition for your machine. You might find the Installation CD
loaded there.

Having said that, the Product Key is not likely to be there. And since you
had 25 uses before you had to register, this sounds like the Free Trial
Version.

After all of that, if the Office Suite came preloaded, then it's an OEM
version and the computer maker might support the problem you have now. Good
luck ...
