Hi, i installed Microsoft Office 2007 Pro over the trial version i had, this caused the program to think it had never been activated. I didn't notice this tell just a few days ago, it has been almost 2 years since i bought this version of Office and i don't have the product key anymore, is there anyway to get this expensive piece of software fixed.
 
If you have a legit key entered in the software to activate it should be ok. You can always try magic jelly bean to see your key you entered when you installed it.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CEAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.magicaljellybean.com%2Fkeyfinder%2F&ei=jBiDUeaDNeS70AH9koGYDQ&usg=AFQjCNFGViniFOLpEqX3Nej9iqiRWW_pWg&bvm=bv.45960087,d.dmQ

If it was a copy for one computer if someone else used that key it will disable your copy. It is a way for MS to keep people from loading one key on multiple machines.
