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.
THANKS A MILLION! It took three different phone numbers, and I had to
read the entire front of my CD to Amanda, but she was able to generate a new
25-character key and waited while I poked in the disk and got to the
installation wizard and ensured that the key worked and I'd be able to
install.
Ah, my grandson the techie will be so impressed! (I certainly am.)
Thanks again.
