mixed-up product keys

[stevemc]

I just bought four copies of MSOffice Ultimate and have installed them on
three of our computers - when I went to install the fourth, I found that I'd
marked TWO boxes with the same pc name - so one of the copies has been
activated and the other hasn't, but I don't know which one I should be
installing/activating. Is there any way to see what the product keys are on
the pc's that I've already installed so I can determine which box I should be
activating?

Download Belarc Advisor onto your computers. It will tell you everything you
want to know...and then some! Great program for keeping track of things like
licenses, etc.

Belarc found it! Thanks, I thought I had figured out which box went with
which pc, but Belarc proved that I had indeed mixed them up - thanks very
much for the tip!

Unfortunately, Magical Jelly Bean hasn't been updated yet to
find the keys for Office 2007. Hope they do the update
soon.

Magical Jelly Bean does show the PK for Products,
not for your use , but for their use, as the program sends PK over to an
external server/website.
Thanks to my Mcafee which blocked the program from using internet.

I think you have posted some incorrect information here. MJB does not go
onto the internet to post anything. Been used for many years by very
reliable individuals with many different types of firewalls (mine won't
allow any outgoing communication by any program unless I specifically give
it permission since I have security very tight) and there has never been
anyone other than you say that the program is sending the Product keys to
some internet site.

Now, if you have McAfee, that may be your problem. One of the two
AV/Firewall program suites I immediately uninstall from any computer that I
purchase with it installed. Many known issues with both of the programs
(Symantec's Norton is the other) and I have always had problems with McAfee
products either giving false hits or not finding known problem malware.
