Software load

Hello,

I recently purchased a new computer. I have my Microsoft Office 2000 CD's
from my old desktop computer to install in the new computer. What I did not
save was the disc sleeve with the certificate of authorization numbers.

How can I get these numbers for my disc to load this?

That's unclear, because your post is ambiguous. When you say that the
Office2K CDs are from your "old desktop computer," do you mean that
Office came pre-installed on that earlier computer? If so, you have
what is known as an OEM license for Office 2K, and this cannot
legitimately be transferred to any other computer, ever. It also means
that you'd have to contact the manufacturer of that old computer to
obtain the Product Key for their OEM license.

If, on the other hand, you have a retail (store-bought) license for
Office 2K, you can transfer it, so long as you have the Product Key.
Unfortunately, I don't believe that Office 2K is supported any more.
However, it can't hurt to try:

Download BeLarc Advisor and run it on the old computer. It will list the

However, Office 2000 is a bit old, and unsupported by MS. You may have some
problems with it. Versions 2003 and newer work fine.
