The product key is on a legal copy of MS2003, you will have to purchase a copy if you don't have one.
MS can now detect those using illegal copies of their programs so it's not even worth getting a pirate product key.
An alternative free program is here http://www.openoffice.org/

How can I install Office 2003 without supplying the CD key?
You can configure Office 2003 (beta for now) to install without having to manually enter the CD key during the setup process.
First, you should copy your Office 2003 setup files from your CD to your hard drive.
Find a file called Setup.ini (which is found in the \FILES\SETUP subfolder). Right click the file, select Properties, and remove the Read-only checkmark. Now open the file to edit it.
Your setup.ini file should read something like this:
[Options]
; The option section is used for specifying individual Installer Properties.
;USERNAME=Customer
;COMPANYNAME=my company
;INSTALLLOCATION=C:\Program Files\MyApp
In the USERNAME section enter the registered owner's name, do so also for the COMPANYNAME value. Make sure you uncomment it by removing the ";" from the beginning of the lines.
Now, add a following line to the [Options] section:
PIDKEY=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY
Lamer note: Use your own CD key, the above string is just an example (you wouldn't believe the number of e-mails people actually send me telling me that the tip doesn't work...)
(25 characters from your CD key, without the "-" seperation)
It should now read something like this:
[Options]
; The option section is used for specifying individual Installer Properties.
USERNAME=Daniel Petri
COMPANYNAME=Daniel Petri Ltd.
;INSTALLLOCATION=C:\Program Files\MyApp
PIDKEY=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY
Super lamer note: Again, use your own CD key, username and company info.
Save the file, burn the whole folder that contains the installation files to a CD.
That’s it! Now you can now install Office 2003 without needing to supply a CD key during the setup process!

If you are trying to run what is considered an illegal copy, don't waste your time, or money. Because it IS going to cost you $$$ plenty before it is over. And I am NOT talking about getting caught. I know plenty of people who have done this exact thing, and viruses have continued to corrupt them again and again. If it is a legal copy, and you lost the key, state it as so. Then, maybe some one will tell you how to get it.

If u Buy a Legal Copy then you would not have asked this question.
Always Buy Leagl Software and use. never ever use pirated software. if everybody uses pirated software then what should software manufacturer do. they should starve. then after some time there won't be anybody left to develop software.
if the above answer is good, choose it as best.
any way thanks for the 2 points.

Product keys are individual. I won't give up mine, nor I suspect will anyone else. Purchace the software to obtain your own.
