VB.NET

[f.blair]

I bought the VB.NET (Standard) a couple of years ago. I did install it and
later uninstalled from my PC. In a cleaning mode, my wife removed the disk
from the original box and put the disk into a CD holder and threw out the
box.

Now I want to reinstall it and the box had the key needed for installation.

Is there anyway to retrieve the installation key from Microsoft?

When you installed the product did you register it?

If you registered it did you keep any passwords that you may have used on MS
sites? Do you remember any e-mail addresses you may have used?

If you're really lucky you may be able to prove your entitlement and get a
duplicate key. It's a slim chance though.
