Reset Microsoft Office personalization and ID info
Authored by: Schwie on Jul 07, '04 08:55:09PM

Does anyone know how to recover your serial number from an Office v. X installation? I have it installed on my PowerBook, but I foolishly misplaced my installation CD/booklet with my key. Is there anyway to get the key back?

Another foolish thing... I never registered the software with Microsoft, because I didn't want to sign up for a PassPort account. Looks like it might haunt me.

Surely using a publicly availible key is not a good idea. Once Microsoft is aware of them, they update the software so that it is no longer useable (They frequently do this with Office and Windows (Typically XP onwards) when they roll out a service pack.)
