microsoftoffice2003 shows as an icon-when trying to access it asks for a
product key (25 char) which i found on the tower label but does not allow
access when i used it. any suggestions?
The tower label is the Product Key for Windows.
The key for Microsoft Office is different.
If the key is on the sleeve you lost, you may have no good options.
If Microsoft Office is a trial version, you have no key until you
purchase it.
If Office came with the computer, contact the seller.
If the seller can not help, see the link on my last post for the slim
chance Microsoft can help.
First, the poster isn't looking for a Windows product key, second, why
should he pay for that product when there is software available that does
the same thing for free?
