    hi , i have several computers here at work that software was just thrown on and nothing was recorded as to what licens went with what machine.

    What i'm looking for is the product key for w2k that was installed and for all the apps too( i.e. MS office XP, MS Publisher, MS Visio)

    Does any one know if there is a utility that will retriev this from the registry? I could get the Product ID but that is NOT the product code that you enter in when installing the program.

    I found this keyfinder but i dont think it works. It brings up numbers that i dont have a record of???


    Got any ideas?

    Hi boblucci
    I wonder if perhaps Belarc or Aida32 would do the trick?

    Have you tried Magical Jellybean Keyfinder ?

    Apologies. Looks like that is the same as one you tried. I have used it and found that it did find the number I had lost.

    Daisy,

    It did and then it didn't.

    keyfinder showed the w2k product key but when it came to office it jusy said office #1 office #2 office #3

    #1 could be Office XP Pro
    or it could be
    Visio i have in stalled
    or it could be
    MS Project 2000
    or ......

    now i just have to figure out what is what


    It better than where i was before ;)
