Just to add --
In the US, Office 2000 didn't have a registration requirement except,
perhaps, the academic edition. If a full install of Office 2000 with SR1
were done, then I believe the registration requirement was added to that,
but not with application of SR1 to the original Office 2000 product.

With regard to the suggestion by Tom Ogilvy that "if you owned a copy of
Excel,
you should be able to install it on your new computer."

Because of the manner in which Office 2000 and Office XP (of which Excel
is a
part) are activated, one is limited to the number of different computers
these
packages can be installed on (typically 1, 2, or 3, depending on the
version
purchased (academic, professional, etc).
If you've hit the limit and later replace one of the old computers by a
new
one, you should call Microsoft's Activation Hotline at 1-888-571-2048 and
explain to them what's
happening, in which case they can supply a new activation code for the
replacement machine.
