Can I Find My Office 2008 Product Key?

I wanted to register online using my laptop and my DVD is at home. It wants my product key. Is there any way to find this on my machine, or do I just need to wait until I get home. We're also buying some copies for the office and it would be nice to know what product key is installed on each machine so we can be sure we're in compliance. Thoughts?

Really? I thought registration asked for the Product ID, as opposed to
the Product Key (aka installation code, license key, whatever). Your
Product ID is in the About window of any Office app--About Word, etc.

By the way, registration does *nothing* at all but let you sign up for a
newsletter. Doesn't save your license code, doesn't activate the
product, nothing. Totally optional.

Re which product key is installed on which machine--trial and error is
your only option, sorry. See the steps here if you need to reset a license:

I find that when I re-install the same license key, the Product ID is
almost identical except for the last 5 digits. However, the same license
key used on different machines might produce Product IDs that are more
different.
