Lost my product ID

Hello—NavyLCDR: It may be hard to
believe, but I did truly have copies of the two Office apps that I
fully paid for. To understand how I could have lost the product keys,
you first have to understand the reasons I was in and out of the
hospital for about 4 to 6 weeks. My condition was such that my family
and I did not know if I would survive. While in such a state for 3
weeks it's easy to forget things as to what you did with them or
where you put them. So, I have no idea what I did with them. Also I
am now a permanent resident in a nursing home. In a place like this
it's difficult to put everything in it's proper places. I hope this
satisfies your curiosity. I really did not mean for this to sound
like a cockie answer, but you came across as you couldn't believe me
when I said I lost them. If I took you wrong, I apologize and wish you a best day. Frank

Very sorry for your health issues, Frank. Thank you for the explanation, now I understand. I thought that you meant that you had lost activation and use of the installed Office products. Might I suggest in the future that you email important information to yourself using something like GMAIL. Yes, the information will be on someone else's server (Google for gmail), but you can always then go back through your email (so long as you don't delete it) to retrieve the information. Even if it is removed from the local computer, it will still be in your email on their server as long as you never specifically delete it from their server.

I can't tell you how much information I have been able to retrieve at work from email because I never delete email at work!
