Explaining your situation to Microsoft is about your only option.

I realize the above link assumes your hard drive was still loaded but the phone number is the same.

Most likely you will need to re-purchase the program.

I have a similar problem with Office Professional 2000 software. I have the product key but it does not accept it anymore. I have had big problems with my PC over the last few months and I have had to re-install my software numberous times.

It will no longer accept the product key!! Can you only install software a set number of times??

If so, who do I need to contact about this problem?

Hope you can help.

There should be no limit. So long as it is the same computer.

Call 1-800-936-5700 and speak to a customer service representative.

Calling Microsoft is your only option:

To obtain a new product key for your Office program in the United States, call 1-800-936-5700 and speak to a Microsoft customer service representative. Outside of the United States, call the number that appears in the activation wizard.

If they cannot help you then you need to repurchase Office. The key is what you pay for.
