Default How do I get the product key?

I downloaded and installed Office 2007 beta2 from a Microsoft email I
received that said, "Listed below are the products you selected and the
associated product keys to activate the beta."; however, there was no product
key shown anywhere and a window keeps dunning me for it when I start Outlook.
Please advise what I should do.

Aloha,
Bob

When you register before you download, it lists the keys required. I just
copy and pasted then out of there.

Was the key in an email or on the registration screen? I guess I somehow
missed that. Now what can I do?

I'm replying to myself. I saw other posts from people with the same problem
so I decided to order the CD and reinstall the beta. Hopefully, this will
solve my problem.

The key was in the notification e-mail and also listed on the SmartSource
Download Manager screen.

I didn't get it either way. I would have noticed it although it's possible
that I missed the download manager screen. I never received an emal with
the key.

I saw the product key(s) on the d/l screen itself. You'll notice it's a
table, the 1st column is the d/l link, the 3rd one is a link to prereqs, and
the 2nd one contains the key.

Reapply with the same details and you will be shown the keys again. Save the
page.
I got two emails and only the second gave the product keys.

I did what you suggested and, this time, it worked fine. The product key was
stated both in the response to the download request and a subsequent email.
This did not happen the first time so there must have been a problem. I see
other posts with the same thing I experienced.

Thanks for the help.
