word2000 cd key vs. product ID

[k]

I am trying to load word2000 onto my new computer using
the cd from my old computer. My new computer has windows
xp. when install starts, it asks for the cd key but my
cd does not have one. It only has a product ID on the
certificate of authenticity. How do I install word2000?

(Also, the cd says "designed for windows nt and windows
98)
