Office 2003 - starting from scratch

M

MAEO

My desktop crashed several months ago. Restored everything but OFFICE 2003
which I was only able to install/activate as a trial. I had
activated/purchased in early 2005 by phone, but long ago lost/misplaced the
Product Key. No big deal I thought as Office 2007 was on the way. Big
Deal... Outlook 2007 is choking on my .PST and I need my Office 2003 back.
Any suggestions? Any help is appreciated, I've got to get Outlook 2003
installed ASAP.

It's a P4 Sony VAIO circa JAN05. Came with Office 2003 trial. I was
overseas at the time and seem to recall speaking with someone at Microsoft by
phone. I have a fully licensed copy on an old P2 laptop as well. It's
functional, though I no longer use the laptop. Could I transfer the license
from the laptop? Outlook 2007 is killing me slowly...

If you have some sort of proof that you own a retail (not OEM) license of
Office 2003, you can call Microsoft for a new product key. You will need the
CDs tho.
