like i said, its not possible

office versions prior to 2002(xp) did not store the key as there was no need to (no product activation), they merely checked if it *seemed* to be a valid key at install time
Oh,my version is 03

Re: Recover Office 2000 Product Key from within win98

its the same with win98. A key will work so long as it passes the check (for a long time it was something like the key was valid ifs sum divided by 7 or something) which meant made up keys would work.

Re: Recover Office 2000 Product Key from within win98

I know I am a bit late, but if ou go to Ms support, they can retrieve the key for you. she had to do it over the ph for me but it was a weird install anyway. they have an online tool that does it but i cannot remember where.
