find License key on existing MS OFfice

T

tpowel

2 yrs ago I purchased a computer that came with a MS Office Student and
Teacher 2003 Trial. I activated /paid for permanent MS Office. I am now
looking to change from XP Home to XP Pro which may wipe out my applications.
I still have the CD with the Trial but don't have the license key sent
(email) from the purchase. Is it possible to find the license key on the
computer? I don't mind paying MS $35.00 to tell me how, but I don't want to
pay, if they can't help or are going to give me the run around.

Suggestions?
