Is there a tool for retrieving the cd key for XP on a buisness Network . I had a previous employer that did not write down the cd keys for XP and now when i reistall it i cannot register . HElP
 
If you can get into regedit it should be under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
 
Just found it . [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Registration\{91130409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9}]
"ProductID"="54188-OEM-1792306-61753" take the last 5 numbers "61753" and below the CD key from cd case u will see a bar code the last 5 numbers on that bar code is the correct cd for that cd key . Thanks all for helping me and I hope this helps who ever had this problem before .
 
That didn't work on my Retail version of Office XP.
