Serial Number for iWork 08

The serial number will be on a small card the size of a CD sleeve in the documentation you received in the box with your Mac. This card is easily overlooked in the retail box & even easier to miss when iWork is pre-installed.

Boy, they don't make it easy, at least that is what I thought. I am new to Apple, just installing the IWork08, have entered(unsuccessfully) every number I can find for a serial number. I have finally found the number on the one item I did not see in the box on a small brochure labeled "installing I Work", what a novel idea. Of course I had inserted the install CD without finding this instruction brochure.

Thanks, Peggy, but I've checked through the box several times, all we got was an iWork08 disc in a paper envelope, no instructions, no serial numbers. Apple Support says that because it was pre-loaded with the computer, there is no serial number and we must buy the serial numbers!

This is the behavior for those which didn't bought iWork.
They get a pre-installed FREE 30 days trial.
The paper envelope has a white on red label on the top-right corner stating "trial version".

You may use this one during 30 days.
If you want to use longer you must buy the product.
Two tracks available to do that:

(a) buy a registration number. You will be sent the registration number
(b) buy an iWork 's box. You will be sent a box containing
the CD
a get Started booklet with a colored cover
a small black and white (8 pages) booklet with two labels displaying the registration number.

The contents of both kinds of disks is the same.
As far as I know, if you buy the single registration number you will not receive the "Get Started" booklet.
You just need a registration number to be able to use the "free demo" on the long time.

On every versions is a folder containing the PDF User Guides in several languages.

Here you are not asking to Apple employees but to end users like you.

If you paid for iWork, you have a bill.
Read this bill and ask for the "missing serial number" thru the phone number given on the bill.
