Office 2004 and records of installs

[eseale]

Hello.

I installed Office 2004 on all of our Powerbooks and someone lost my
record of which Mac got which serial number. Now I need to figure out
how to reproduce that documentation. I was wondering if I can pull
serial numbers via ARD to recreate my document or maybe ssh into the
the machines and cat a file. If I have to go to a machine and login
that's really not an issue. I still have all the Office 2004 CDs and
serial numbers, but I have no clue who got what SN.

:-(

Thanks.

AFAIK, there's no way to reverse engineer the CD Key from the hashed
value stored on disk. You can reinstall just the CD Key using the
technique found at
