My cd key for Win xp Home is lost. So is the original disk. (My home office was moved, and it just can't be found ... dumb but true.).My dealer gave me a copy of the program but of course the cdkey is another question. I have the receipt for the purchase of the program ... that is not at issue. However trying to find a manner in which to get a new cdkey from Microsoft is a mystery. I have tried their website but can find no place this is addressed.
Can anyone suggest a way this can be done. (No I am not trying to get someone to give me an illegal number ... that is not my objective).
Hope someone can direct me ...
Thank you

you can call the microsoft support number and tell them your situation...if yo ucan prove that you purchased the software legally they may issue you a new number

Took your advice and a cdkey was supplied within minutes (as well as sending a new cd later). All they were interested in is proving ownership of the program which I was able to do.
With thanks.
PS The hardest part was finding a phone number at Microsoft that did not cost an arm and a leg. Look under licencing. the charge was minimal ($15 Cdn). Ok ... eh?
