I had the same problem with MS Office Pro. I rang MS in Reading to ask what
the answer was to this and they where very apologetic about the software not
being available to make backups and routed me to a company in South London.
They asked a few registration details and then said they would get a full
set of discs in the post that day. Out of the blue the chap asked me if I
had a CD drive (which I do now) and I said Yes so instead I got a CD sent to
me. I was more than pleased with this service.
