I had to reinstall XP on my computer. I put on all of my works cd's but I
guess I misplaced my activation key?? I tried using my certificate of
authenticity # but that did not work. Can anyone help me locate the product
key?

I do not have an "office" cd. I have Microsoft works and I do not have the
original case anywhere. I just have it in a paper sleeve.

In that case it should be on the seal on the paper sleeve. If you *really*
didn't get an activation key somewhere with the original set up, go back to
the supplier and say rude things to them.

I have had the computer for about 4 years and I have misplaced the original
sleeve.. my husband is horrible about keeping up with these things and it was
his computer.

Install *what* XP? There are several products you could be talking about.
