Default Certificate of Authenticity & Product Key Code

Due to my puter crashng this weekend, I have had to
reinstall Windows 98 and all Miscrosoft Work Suite files.
The problem is that when I try to install Word 2000 I am
asked for a 25 digit product key code that is supposed to
be on my certificate of authenticity. However, when I
insert that number it tells me it is invalid. Does anyone
know what I need to do, where I can get the number, or how
I can get around this so that I can complete the
installation of Windows 2000?

Thanks

Are you trying to install Word 2000 or Windows 2000?

Word 2000 should have come with it's own COA if you didn't get it with
Office. The number on the _MS Word_ COA is the number you should be using,
not the one on your Windows COA.

If you cannot find the product key, then you can always contact Microsoft
for help. I would have a newspaper handy to read while you are on hold. Be
ready to provide them with detailed information on the cd and you may need
some other information about where and when you purchased Windows 2000 or
Word 2000. It just depends on whether Microsoft thinks you have a legal
copy or an illegal copy of Word 2000 or Windows 2000.
