I just installed office home and student 2007 on my computer. Running out of
uses. I lost the case which contains the product key to activate. This is a
legitimate copy.

Can someone please advise on either how to retrieve, or point me in the
right direction for support?

You just installed it, didn't activate it, and you've lost the case already?

You need the product key to install the software, not to activate it.

It is, however, pretty careless to lose the case before you have used the
product 25 times!

However, if you are being prompted for a key, could it be that you had a
trial version on your computer, which ypu didn't remove before installing
Home and Student? If so, I think you need to remove both and re-install just
the H&S version afterwards. For this you *will* need the product key, which
you can obtain by running BelArc Advisor
(http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html).

this is incorrect. it has been installed. it just needs to be activated. I
do appreciate the help.

Thanks for the help. I had it before a move, from months ago, and just
wanted to install word 07 now so that quick parts could work for my outlook
07.
