This small tool will scan your Mac for installed applications and show your product keys (serial numbers). In two words it is doing same job as KeyFinder for.
Remember when you first installed MS Office you were asked to provide a Product Key number? That number should have been something that came with the CD that you purchased. Sometimes it is on the outside of the CD case and sometimes you can find it on a piece of documentation that comes with your CD. In any event, there often comes a time when you need that Product Key and it is usually a long time after you have installed the and you have no earthly idea were you saved all of that information. BUT, and this is a pretty big but, you must have that Product Key in order to obtain technical support from Microsoft. Luckily, there is a very easy way to gain that information without tearing your office apart.
Follow the steps below to learn how: • Version 2007: • In one of your office applications, such as Excel, click the Office button Excel Options Resources About. • A dialog will display and it will provide you with your Product ID code. • Version 2010: • On the File of your Ribbon click Help to display the Product ID at the right side of your screen. Now save this information in a safe place where you will remember how to find it again!
The version of MS Office that came with your computer is a trial version. You get the Product Key when you buy Office. I would hold off on buying Office (and I would get it elsewhere rather than with the trial conversion process because you normally get it at a better price) until next week. Office 2010 comes out next week (6/15) and if you're going to spend the bucks on Office you might as well get the latest version. If you want to wait but need a word processing program right away (or if you don't want to buy Office), you can download/install the free which can read/write MS Office file formats.
