Office 98 10 digit CD key

[Doug Withrow]

Recently I had my G4 laptop crash.

In the meantime I drug my old iMac out of the closet to do some work. I
needed to upgrade the OS8.5 to run newer programs. In doing so it wiped out
my CD-Key for Office 98 for Mac. It is requesting the 10 digit CD-Key when I
try to start Word.

Microsoft Replacement Software and their people who run new CD-Keys say I
must have the original CD for them to help. (Obviously if I had the original
software I wouldn't need their help). It's been so long since I used this
computer I can't find the original disks.

Is anyone aware of a generic 10 digit CD-Key or a back door into Office 98
for Mac.?

That's right, Microsoft Supplemental & Replacement Parts cannot issue new CD
keys. You need to contact Microsoft Product Support Services to request a
new key.

They might not be able to issue a new key if you cannot prove ownership. In
that case, you'll need to buy a new copy of Office.
