    Please do not ask for product keys. Besides Office has to be activated and Microsoft is going to know you are using a hacked key.

    If you need a good office suite for free, don't pirate M$ Office when we have the wonders of (perfectly legal) open-source software at our fingertips...

    I used the 25 key that came with my computer on my mom's and simply made sure I registered it in my name rather than hers just to make sure. That's different though, I don't want to push my luck even though it is right in front of me.

    Give you clue lol... the first one is WC3X2 - xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

    That still leaves over a zillion diffent combinations ...good luck!

    (actually I think more, but I forget what comes after zillion...million, billion, zillion, ?)

    BadmintonBoy,

    If you got this copy of MS Office legally, you should already have a product key for it. If you lost it, you can always contact MS and see if they can provide another key for you, but you will probably have to provide proof you bought this software.

    You can always try Lowlymarine's suggestion to use OpenOffice (I didn't even know they had a Windows version).
