Hi,

I had bought SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition a few years ago. So, I have a
product key to use this product. I now need to install this on a new
machine, but can't find my installation CDs. I called Microsoft to see if
they could mail me new ones. They could place me as a customer, but said
they cannot mail me new CDs. The lowest price for these on EBay is $1000,
still much for me.

Any ideas for what else I can do?

Thanks in advance for helpful suggestions.
