Is the product key for Office 2000 specific to each disc? The reason I ask
is my disc 1 of the 2 is damaged and I was wondering if I used someone
else's disc 1 if I could use my own product key? I do have a legitimate
copy that I paid for. At one time my CD drive was malfunctioning and the
disc spun wildly when opening the drive door. As a result, the outer 1/4 to
3/8" of the disc is badly scratched.

Thanks

It needs to be the exact same version and edition for that to work.

OK. I checked their disc and theirs is the regular version, mine is the
Update version. So are you saying this will not work? If it won't work,
can I get a replacement for my disc or am I out of luck? I don't even know
if they would have version 2000 still available to replace.

Thanks,

Will not work. And you can no longer get replacement CDs for Office 2000.
I'm afraid you are SOL (sorely out of luck).
