How can I get the actual product key from existing
installed products in the "xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx"
format?
Thanks

Go to www.aumha.org/freeware.htm#aida
get the download of Aida32, which is an excellent general System Info
tool, and its Software - Licenses page will tell you several, including
those for Windows and for Office

Note that if the machine came with Windows XP installed, this will
probably give a key used in producing an original image, then cloned to
all machines they make. So it is not the one for a reinstall. But then
the key will be on a label on the case of the machine
