Find the correct CD Key from a previous installation

[Dan T]

I have an Office XP retail installation that I want to
move to a new box. I have several legitmate retail CD's.
How can I find the CD Key that was used for the original
install so I can remove it and move it to the new machine?
Under Help, it gives my a product number that is no way
near a cd key format.

Trying to stay legal.

http://www.magicaljellybeans has a freeware tool that you can use to pull
the Product CD installation number for Office XP and Windows XP. Works very
well.
