You can call Monopolysoft to get an activation code. You may need the retail box or, possibly, connect the external to its original device and grab the number(s) from the About Office menu item.
I still have the original CD and activation code. It's a 'home and student' pack, which was good for a number of computers.
Whenever you enter the code, you get a message saying either "You are not on the Internet" (false), or "The activation server is unavailable." You can then try to activate by phone, which involves typing a long series of numbers on your phone, then entering a ridculously long series of numbers which the robot speaks on your computer, only to get a message that it "Failed."
I did actually get the phone activation business to work on a MBAir running Mojave (!) a few years ago, and on a 2010 MBP that I wiped last year and gave to Number Two Son's family. Guess I'll try it again, just for the halibut.
