Product ID

[Martin]

Hello,

I would like to obtain the Access Product ID and insert this into a table of
the PC ID and username.

I know how to do obtain the PC ID and username from other helpful posts on
this site but I am unsure how to obtain the Access Product ID.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance.

Martin

Hi,

Thanks for the response. This gives me a generic product ID but i was after
the product ID that appears in the Help | About.

Is there a way to obtain that product ID?

Thanks,

Martin

Hi

I think that the ID you mention is the generic Office ID that will appear in
Help>About for all the Office applications. If so, then I believe that the
only way to extract this is by reading it from the System Registry. On my PC
this is in the Registry at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Office/11.0/Registration/{generic
code}/ProductID. The problem you will have is that the above path will be
different for different Office versions, and may well differ greatly between
different Windows versions.

Try the following which points to a solution:
