WordPerfect Productivity PAck

Where do I get the 'key' to install WordPerfect 12? I have the CD that came with the computer - XPS GEN 5 - I have no idea where the key is, or even where to start looking, other than it is NOT on the side of the case with the Win XP key.

It would be on the CD case or envelope that came with WP.

Rick,

I emailed DELL support to ask for a 'key'. If they send me one, fine. I still have WP 10 that came with my last DELL if I really need the program. The new one is WordPerfect Office 12, just thought it would be nice to have it availaable if I needed it. The hunt for the 'key' continues - Thanks for your time - Bill

Thanks Rick - I took all the CDs that came with macine and put them on my CD spindle. Yes, I threw the little white envelopes away knowing the Windows key was on the machine and not even thinking about anything else.

I have no knowledge of the WP setup, but Dell does NOT have the ability to give out new Office keys.  From Office 2002 forward they couldn't do that.  Perhaps if you contact them (see last line in my sig) and they validate ownership they may have the ability to give a new WP key...  Dunno.

Glad to hear it.  If you had Word you would have been out of luck.
