Use internet explorer (never thought I'd say this). You need to accept an add-in called "MS transfer manager".

The site generates keys but seems a bit buggy, also can't verify which of these products need a key.

At least it generates a key for Applications > Office XP > Office XP Professional - CD (English) : JPXQJ-...

Some keys show up others don't, I'll upgrade my IE to 8, let's see what happens.

Edit: After update to IE8 I get a descent error warning: "An Error Has Occurred: There was an error error while trying to retrieve requsted key information and we cannot process your request.

You can try to:

I did have a few keys that worked (Office XP, 2003) but most do not work.


Now all the keys and downloads are greyed out.
