Help mi fine di key. :-(

[Ensomgirl]

Can anyone tell me how to find the key for MS Office?

Here's my dilema (sp?): I have the CD but I cannot locate the CD key. I have looked all over but cannot locate it. Is there any way to find it by looking at the files on my PC?

Thanks.

It should be in your registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice10.0Regis tration

Found that info here:

OK! OK! I feel a little better. I clicked on the link and followed the steps. I was able to locate the Product ID. However, I could have sworn that the CD key was an alphanumeric sequence.

I bookmarked the website. I'll do some more research when time permits.

Thanks again Reby.

Hehe google to the rescue again.

The registry is really pretty simple to edit, just stick to the directions and you should be fine. If ya get stuck come on back and I'll help as time permits.

Also a suggestion...if in doubt backup your current registry before you start making changes. That way if you do bork your OS/Program(s) you can fix it.

(Start > Run > Regedit - Select 'My Computer' then File > Export > Save As 'Regbackup.reg')

Enjoy,

No need to do that. I checked the 'Other Related Topics' section of that page. I was able to click on something that was able to provide the CD keys for the programs on my computer. At least the CD keys it could find. Lo and behold the key for Office was there. I copied and pasted them into a Word document.

Thanks again.
