Bought newer PC. Needing to install Office97 Prof to a newer PC. No longer have jewel case. Is there a way to retrieve the Key from the old installation? Can't find anything on Microsoft's site? Can they even help me?

Don't really want to repurchase...

You could try contacting Microsoft and suply you're original product ID (Help->About, or something like it), but it still remains to be seen that they will help. Even if they can. In Windows the CD-key reappears in some form or another in the Product ID.

I think the only other way is to find a hackers site and find a CD-key and keep the original CD! It could be illegal, but if you've got a good story...

Good luck
