Office Pro 2003

[brogdino]

Bought a used computer.
Want to install my purchased Office Pro 2003 software.
Can't find installation disks.
It is registered to me.
Kept records of product key.

Can I download Office Pro 2003 using my product key?

Many Thanks,
Brian

No there is no place to download it from legally.

If you have a friend with the same Office 2003 Suite version, you can use
their disks to install legally.

Thanks for addressing this Milly.

Interesting. I thought the product key was "tied" to the individual
installation disk.

When the prompt comes up for the product key and I enter my number, you're
saying that will work?

The key is tied to the version, not the disk
Provided you use an *exact same version*, your key will work. Then burn/copy
the insatallation disk you borrowed - its all legitimate

Hey DL,
Thanks for looking at this.

Just to be clear *exact same version* means an OEM version will not work
with my full retail product key, correct?
