OL2003 Registration codes and Installed Product IDs

[Gary]

Hi to all,

In a growing department, we have bought ad hoc licences of Outlook 2003 and
are trying to reconcile which machines have which software. On the CD we
have the yellow sticker with the installation key, but it doesn't match the
number at all in the Help About.

Is there a way to tell which Installer CD belongs to which PC?

TIA

Download, install and run Belarc Advisor.
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
It will list all hardware components, installed Microsoft Hotfixes, Software
licenses, including KEYs for newer products.

I like to use keyfinder - http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml

See http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/20031027.htm to lean how to back up
your activation. Export the registry keys from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Registration and you can
use any cd to reinstall, then restore the proper key and activation for each
computer.

Ty to all, Belarc gave me the answer I was looking for. The jellybean would
only reveal the Key for Windows.
