How to find the cd key with the prod.id?

Hi to all.
We have 3 original copies of Office X for Mac with covers and cd key in the
25 letters format.
In the past the former IT admin had installed the pack on 3 macs but now I
don't know how to join the right cd with the number of the installed Office.
If I watch with "About..." I find a id with numbers (not letters) so I can't
know which is the right cd for a computer (we need to know because there are
some problems about organization and some coimputer will leave the office
soon and we want to have a clear situation.)
How to get the combination with product key on cd and serial number on the
software?
I know a ms-dos program called Keyfinder that works fine under windows
system to get the combination. Is there somethin' similar for mac? Or how to
do?
Thanks in advance

Best regards

I don't know any way to do that for MacOffice. What I would suggest is
that you assign a CD to each machine and reset the key to that machine.
Resetting is a matter of a minute or two:

and so would take less time than finding a key hack, especially with
only 3 machines.

You could use "Remove Office" and install/update. This way you will know for
sure. Directions here:
