Finding Product ID on the CD
I am trying to find the Product ID number, not the Key number, within the
files on Microsoft Word. I understand how to find it once it's installed (ie through the help function), but we have purchased several Microsoft Office CD's and I need a quick way of finding the Product ID number. Thank You For the assistance |

Finding Product ID on the CD
Thank you for the help. However, I am trying to find the file on the CD(s)
prior to installation. For example: I have four CD's that I need to find the Product ID number on and the machine that I am checking the CD(s) on already has Microsoft Office 2000 installed. How can I find the Product ID file on the CD(s) utilizing Windows Explorer.

Finding Product ID on the CD
I'm fairly certain that the product IDs are not on the disks. The reason I
say that is because I've had to replace disks and the old PID worked. They are keyed into the type of product, which needs to match the product on the disk. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Lilman via OfficeKB.com" u21697@uwe wrote in message news:600b024737c9c@uwe...

Finding Product ID on the CD
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.

Finding Product ID on the CD
All the discs of the same Office version are the same. It's the installation
numbers that are different and this ties in with Microsoft's product activation process. The installation numbers are not coded on the disc. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Lilman via OfficeKB.com wrote: 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.
