My box is labled "Works Suite 2003". In the box I got "works suite 2003
setup, works, woord work cliparts, encarta encyclopedia, Money,
Streets,andPicture it. On the box there is only one product key and it has
worked for me in the past. With all the new downloads I've been getting
lately something must have changed. I was not aware I could get it on
line.
With the key I have I have used words and works successfully in the past.
Things keep changing and I'm an old man and just can't keep up. I'll go to
the web sites. Thank you very much for your help. James

On the Works sets with Word that I have installed, there's the key for
Works, and the Word sleeve has a separate key on it.

The two keys are separate and are not interchangeable.

No formality is necessary. You can just call me "Ken."


It's the one on thhe back of the blue box that the programs came
in. It's the only product code that I know of. Thanks James


You say "programs," but I'll make my point again and ask the question
again.

There's a good chance that you are entering the product key for
Windows, not that for Word. What "programs" do you mean that came in
this box? Word has one product key and Windows another one. They do
not use the same key and if the key works for one of them, it won't
work for the other.

You can find the Windows Product key with any of these:

ViewKeyXP www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/ViewKeyXP.exe (for Retail versions
only, and for pre-SP2 versions only)

ProduKey http://nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

ProduKey http://nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

Everest http://www.lavalys.com/index.php?page=product&view=1

Magical Jellybean www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml

Belarc Advisor www.belarc.com/free_download.html

Find it and compare it with the one you are trying to enter. If they
are the same, my guess is correct, and you are entering the wrong key.

Hello, I've had this computer for 5 years but recenyly I had to
replace the
hard drive. I'm attempting to use "WORD" for the first time since
and it will
not accept my product license code. What can I do about? Thank you
very much.



Just a guess, but there's a good chance that you are entering the
product code for Windows, not that for Word. Where are you finding
this product code?
