I would agree if it weren't for the fact that, once the software is installed,
unique Product ID's are given to the Microsoft Office programs. After
installation I can view unique ID numbers for each of the Microsoft Office
disks. This leads me to believe that somewhere on the disk could be the
Product ID. I have put Disk 1 into a machine, right clicked the CD drive,
opened with Explorer, then looked through a lot of the files and have found
nothing. There are a vast amount of files. naturally, on the disk but I have
turned up nothing. Thank you for the assistance.

prior to installation. For example: I have four CD's that I need to find
