Hi Rose,
What product? Project? Are you sure the product key is for the
software you are attempting to install? The bottom of my laptop
does have a product key -- but it's for Windows, not Project. Find
the disk for Project or the box -- the product key for Project is
most likely on the box or on the CD or on the case for the CD --
most likely not your laptop.
I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
