The usual suggestion is that you call Microsoft. I don't know from personal
experience whether this yields satisfactory results, but it's worth a try:

To replace a product key, contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support. To
locate the appropriate telephone number, visit the following Microsoft Web

My hard drive crashed and I got a new computer. I want to reinstall my
Word
2000 -- I know it isn't supported any more, but I still like it. but the
Install Wizard requires the certification number I originally got with the
disk.

I don't have it any more. How can I reinstall Word? I paid for it, it;s
not a pirated or illegal copy, but I can't prove it.
