My problem is this. I recently started a new job and have taken over resposibility for about 30 Win2K workstations. I need to document all of them as to what is installed, OS, Office etc.

Using keyfinder from jellybean software I can find out the OS keys but not the Office 2K keys as these are encrypted (so I've found out).

Anyone know of a way to find the product key legally (registry entry/tool etc) so I can match it up with the software licenses I have?

Good question Nugget, can it be as simple as opening the “Word” or “Excel” application, clicking “Help,” and clicking “About [application name]” (e.g. “About Microsoft Word” or “About Microsoft Excel”).

This had me for a minute because I never thought that the key would be so easily accessible to others.

 

That gives you a product ID, but I think this is different from the license key on the CD packaging.

 

Thats right LB. I need to find the license keys to differentiate between standard and pro, and also single install and vlk's.

Over the last 3 years the company has bought and installed many versions and was not so well documented. :speechle:

 

oopps my bad, try this http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml I think this will work.
