How do I find which Product Key matches which installation?

[pat.rudolph]

I have a copy of Office 2004 Professional, which is installed on my
PowerBook G4. I bought a copy of Office Student for my son's Mac Mini,
but now I can't tell which CD is which. Is there any way to match the
Product Key on the CD case to the version that's installed on my laptop
so I can install the other one on my son's computer?

AFAIK, it's a one-way hash, so you can't recover the CD-key from the
internal Product ID.

OTOH, I don't think it matters which CD you install from as long as you
use the CD-key for the license you're using. I'm not sure there's even a
physical difference between CD's. I've never had a S&T edition, though,
so I could be wrong.
