Re-download Office Home and Student 2010. I have a product key but no CD

In March or April 2010, I purchased Office Home and Student 2010, online.  I have the product key.  I do not have a CD.

In October, the hard drive on the computer containing the software failed.  Now, with a new hard drive installed, I need to re-download the software.  I have searched the site extensively and have not found information about how to do this.  

Please provide detailed information about how to download the software.  Answers to an earlier question included a URL to a site for the trial version of software.  When I clicked on the link, however, I was redirected to a page for purchasing full versions of the software. 

Please help.  Thank you.

While getting a new trial will work, a more direct link to obtain the download package again is;

    Hello,

    Did you purchase Office 2010 suite as product key card or the traditional retail copy?

    If you have purchased a traditional retail copy, you may refer to the backup link to download Office 2010:

    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/microsoft-office-2010-backup-FX101853122.aspx

    If you have purchased a product key card edition, the license would be specific to a particular computer which cannot be transferred to a different computer.

    I hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Thank you.
