Having issues with Microsoft Office. I had to wipe my hard drive clean and start from scratch, but the problem is, I couldn't find my product key, so I put in a spoofed one that I knew wouldn't work long-term (call-back recognizes it as incorrect).

However, now when I get back into any Office program, it won't let me put in a new product key. Is there any way to do this? If not, I'll have to uninstall and reinstall, but the key I have (I just found it) is for Office 2007, so does anyone know where I can find an install of 2007? Microsoft's site only had the 2010 download.

Thanks.

How did you install it after you wiped the hard drive?

Part of the backup/restore.

Solved the whole thing with a simple regedit.
