    bought new laptop from Dell (otherwise known as hell). Installed office home and student 2007 and entered key code.  Everything fine, then had to replace hard drive and mother board under warranty due to defect.  After tech replaces hardware of course when I go to use the excel program, it now asks for the key code again and of course the tech did not leave a cd.  Dell says tough luck buy a new cd.  what ***!!!  Anyone have a solution?

    If you installed Office and entered the key yourself, then Office didn't come pre-installed on your computer. If so, you must have bought it from a store. If so, it must have come in a Retail box. If so, then why can't you re-install it using the CD or DVD (that came in the retail box) and enter the product key (that also cam in the retail box)?

     

    Thank you,
