Dear all,
I have installed Office 2000. But I have lost the product key.
How can I retrive the product Key (25-digit) of Office 2000 from my
computer. I have tried many software but no one work for it.
Please help. Thanks.
It's been quite sometime since I've done this to effectively change keys
in office 2000 and sorta forgot if it shows that "actual" key....I
believe it does, if not sorry to waste your time......................
1. On the Start menu, click Run.
2. In the Open box, type "Regedit" (without the quotation marks)
and then click OK.
3. Find the following registry key by either
(a) pasting the string below in to the Edit=>Find Window
and search '[x] Keys '
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
or (b) by manually getting to it by opening the
Registry tree by clicking on the following entries
First: The [+] sign next to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
Second: The [+] sign next to "Software"
Third: The [+] sign next to "Microsoft"
Fourth: The [+] sign next to "Windows"
Fifth: The [+] sign next to "CurrentVersion"
Sixth: The [+] sign next to "Uninstall"
Once to this "Uninstall" 'folder' look at the information in the
right hand pane and see if you have one or more
folders with "GUID" string names. [A GUID
(globally unique identifer) has 32 characters and
in a form similar to this {FC7E68ED-17A3-11C3-A123-00C04E6C9FC1}]
If you find only one subkey (GUID named folder)
Click on that folder (subkey) to select it and
go to step 4 below to continue
If you have more than one GUID named subkey (folder)select
each one and look in the right pane for "DisplayName"
and in the "Data" column to the right of "DisplayName"
look to see for it to name your version of MS Office.
When you find the correct subkey, keep it selected and
continue with Step 4.
4. For the selected {GUID} subkey folder, look in the
right pane in the "Names" column for the "ProductId"
