Where can I find my Microsoft offfice product key?

Question

I have office XP on a disc and I want to put it on my new computer but I lost the product key. I know the product ID is that the same thing?

Answer 1

No product ID is different from product key.Call Microsoft customer support to get a new key.You need a valid receipt that you have bought this software.They will help you out.While calling they will ask your product ID too.Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Install Office XP without inputting a product key – How To make a CD that automatically fills in your product ID follow the steps below:

Copy the contents of your Office XP CD to a folder on your Hard Drive

In the FILES\SETUP directory will be a SETUP.INI file, edit this file

Find the [OPTIONS] section, add a line PIDKEY=(your product key no dashes)

Now burn the contents onto a blank CD. Office will now install without the need for you to insert the product key.

Answer 3

If you have MSOffice installed using the same cd on another computer then you can find your product Key from it. Download install and run free version of Belarc Adviser, a pc auditing software on that computer. It will show you your windows as well as other software's keys
