Office XP Lost Product Key

[Robert]

I have a client that had Office XP installed a while back.
The IT person that installed it is no longer with the
company and they are not able to locate the original
Product Key. Is there a way of having a new product key
issued or finding what the key is? I know that the key is
probably encrypted in the registry so that won't work. Any
ideas? -thanks

if the product was registered, you usually can call microsoft
and just give them the registration info.

Belarc Advisor will find it www.belarc.com

Do you know what number they should call for that?

Hey that worked. I am going to have them call Microsoft on
two of the workstations. They reformatted those systems so
running this app won't work on them.

thanks again
