Locating Office Serial Number

[Greg]

Where on a computer hard drive would I find information identifying the exact
copy of MS office that had been installed? I need information which I can
match to the cd's.
I work in an office with many computers, each with their own licensed copies

I believe Belarc will only note information from the disk the PC was
booted from. If your old drive is still bootable (i.e. you didn't format
it), temporarily configure it as the master drive, boot from it, and
install/run Belarc.

I may be wrong but I think this tool, and the magic jelly bean tool, only
detects certain versions of office
