Answer 1

you need to obtain a microsoft office product key (try a site like www.serialportal.com) . Or you could download a microsoft office torrent.

Answer 2

You need to get a serial # for Microsoft Office.

look around for the CD case or call the computer manufacrurer

Answer 3

The XP sticker's 25 digit code is for installing Windows XP only, they wont work with Office, you will need the 25 digit code from the back of the Office CD case.
