Palcouk Volunteer Moderator. Afraid you cannot get a replacement key if you have lost yours went out of support October. How satisfied are you with this reply? They are the only ones who can help you with this problem. I understand that about the programs. I have done your suggestion. On 3 occasions now plus my time talking to several different MS departments that they pass me around to.

But luckily I discovered today a way to download the digital copy to a local drive or usb stick and be able to run the install totally from there and use my digital key because I am using the digital downloaded copies. I just have them stored locally now. You just have to use the Office Deployment Kit to accomplish this little really huge feat. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help.

Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I would like to think you know what you talking about, thank you. My argument is mostly with Microsoft. So yes I am going to pay x amount of money for office , then I must spend x amount of money to download the software.
