I recently needed to replace my hard drive on my computer which previoulsy
had Microsoft Office 2000 (sm. bus.) installed then was later upgraded to
Office Standard 2007. Long story short, I no longer have the product key for
the orgional Office 2000, I have the orgional disks, not the key.

The Office Standard 2007 is an upgrade version which I do have the Product
Key for but it can't be installed because there is nothing to upgrade in the
system. The old hard drive is destroyed, so there is nothing I can go back
to and my other computer that had this installed on previously was just
replaced about 3 months ago so it does not have the old key burried in it
anywheres at all. My question is: can i get this Product Key without a lot
of expense so I can install the newer Office Standard 2007? Is there
anywhere I can download a previous old version that nobody wants so I can
upgrade to what I have or am I just outta' luck? Would a "trial" version of
the Office Standard 2007 work and then use my product key to activate the
purchase? I'm grasping at straws here and really don't want to initiate
another expense!
