Product Key extraction

T

Trixie Rocks

I am lookiing to reinstall Office 2002 Small Business on the computer it is
on currently. My problem is that I have multiple copies of the product and
don't remember which Product Key goes with this computer.

Is there a way to extract the Product Key from the program, or the computer
itself?

Visit http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html and download the free
Belarc Advisor. After running the program, look under the section
titled "Software Licenses".

I may have misread this question because the answer I have is too simple, so
forgive me in advance. Start up one of the products (WORD). The first screen
shows: This product is licensed to___ company name____ product id:________.
If that is the product ID you want, that's the easiest way to retrieve it
from the system that I know. Kathleen

The PID is not the same as the "installation" key.
