Lexi,

I'm glad it all worked out.

However, it is a very bad assumption that an office setting equals legal =
- I
remember when all the law offices in town shared one copy of =
WordPerfect!

Seriously, I see very few offices that are even close to being legal - =
some
try but most don't.

Wonder why they all have different versions?

Mark

P.S. In the future you could use Keyfinder.exe before you remove, but =
with
detect and repair and reinstall options, you don't need to remove in =
most
cases.

Oh good lord lol we didn't need the reg key to uninstall obviously....we
needed it upon reinstallation .....all cd's are in a folder type thing =
=3D and
some idiot threw away the cd covers. At any rate they each have =3D =
different
versions of office so my idea wouldn't have worked. I'd mistakenly =3D =
thought
you could have a copy on each computer in an office setting....my bad I
dind't know.....at any rate yes of coarse it's a legal copy this is an
office setting she works in....anywho her computer guy had the reg =3D =
number
I suggested she print it onto the cd itself Thanks Lexi


Dian,

You're so much more diplomatic than I am!

I was going to ask why you need a key to uninstall (among other
questions...)

The installation KEY is usually on the back of the CD case for the =
=3D3D3D
program. Pssst...did you know that it's illegal to install one version =
=3D on
=3D3D3D =3D3D multiple PC, under most circumstances...unless one is a =
=3D laptop?

Don't know what your circumstances are...but if it's a LEGAL copy and =
=3D =3D3D
=3D3D3D you have properly registered it, you can call MS and they'll =
give you
=3D =3D3D3D =3D3D another key. You can call 800-936-5700 and explain =
that you
can't find =3D the key =3D3D =3D3D3D and need to reinstall.

However...if this is already installed/registered on another system...I
wouldn't suggest you call Microsoft!

Good luck!

other computer somewhere?? Thanks Lexi
