Lost product key for Office 2003 but have both original CD's

[SaAaTa]

I bought a Office 2003 disc about 4 years ago, I keep it transferring from computer to computer. Recently I bought a new laptop in which I want to install the same but I lost its CD cover and hence the Product key as well. While trying the installation it gets stuck at asking for the same.

Is there any alternate way I can recover my product key for this disc? The last computer it was running is now cleaned formatted. So I don’t think we can get it from its registry? Is there any place I can just buy the product key?

I don’t think Microsoft sells just a product code for any of its product. However they allow replacement of CD or Product Keys. In order to go for the same you need to contact Product Service Support. You can get appropriate phone number for your product depending on your location at the following Microsoft page: http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;CNTACTMS

Well the only possible way I know to recover product keys is to recover it using third-party software from your earlier installed systems, if Office is still running on it. But as you said the system is formatted there is no way to get it back. Better you try above URL and see if you can get the replacement.
