Location of the Office 2007 EULA?

[Colin Barnhorst]

I have a person who asked me where Office Setup stores the Office license in
a default installation of Office 2007. I don't know what is in play, I just
have the question. The default location for the Windows Vista EULA is
C:\windows\system32\license. I cannot find the corresponding location for
the Office license. I already pointed out the link for the retail licenses
on microsoft.com but my party beleives that they may not be using a retail
version.

If I am not mistaken take a look in the MSO Cache in the file named opa12.dat. This is for Office 03

Click on the Office button withing Word (or other Office application). Click
on Word Options - Resources - About Microsoft Word - View the Microsoft
Software License Terms.

One easy way is to look at how much they paid for Office.

My party gets vague on the subject of the source and such. (Yeah, I know.)
But she asked a plain question so I said I would find out. Thanks.

Why oh why did they use such a little box? You just about have to print the
thing. The tiny viewer just doesn't cut it for me. Anyway, that will do
the job for my friend. Thanks again.

The MSO Cache doesn't appear to have an opaxx.dat file at all. I searched
on "opa" and all I got was this thread. LOL. Thanks.

btw, did you ever notice that on the retail licenses finder at:
http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/useterms/default.aspx
the Vista eula is a Word doc (pdf) but the Office 2007 eula is a Notepad
file (pdf)? Heh heh.

Apparently Belarc Advisor pulls it from that file
