Can you find the CD key online in Office 2000? 1

[mshark]

I am going to upgrade my laptop to Window NT and have been gathering all my software and making sure I have all the information I need to reload everything. Unfortunatly I can't find the CD Key for my office 2000 perfessional. I was told by someone that office 2000 stores the CD key online and that I should be able to find it. I search around but have not been able to locate it. Any help?

M: I understand that if you registered your copy and now call MS, they'll get you your CD key.

I think you can pull it out of the registry. I know you can get the Windows key out of:
HKEY_Local_Machine>Software>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version.

I'm not going to spend ages reading through the registry, but try running regedit and expand the tree as follows:

HKEY_Local_Machine>Software>Microsoft>Office>

Then browse...

Good luck!

You've posted this question yourself also, JLR. I've replied to your post. Try not to ask the question in two different threads, you'll confuse us! We're not as smart as we'd like to think!
