Just curious here, but the Office 2000 registration confirmation key is in two groups like this: WKFS QY8L and I think you need this to do a reinstallation.

I have mine written down, but I decided to do a search to see where they hide and I can't find them anywhere.

Any ideas? Or is this a one-shot effort and you have to go through the registration process and get a new one from MS if you reinstall.

Cheers

232338 2004-04-27 03:55:00 I suppose if they are relying on your entering this alpha code to legitimize the bastard software (couldn't resist that one ;-)), it's a bit silly to do as they did with WinME (at least) and store the alpha code alongside the numeric code generated from it. It's the numeric code which is tested to see if it's a legal copy, as far as I can work out. :D But it's all a bit iffy as a "protection mechanism" anyway ... if you've got access to a computer to read the registration codes, you can read the sticky label on the side of the box while you're making your CD copy of the OS. :D

It's the sort of protection a manager would invent. If this Office 2k code is one you get from an on-line registration, I suppose it's a bit "safer"if the actual code is not stored. But I'm sure there are a number of places where such codes can be found. :O
