Microsoft Office PRO 95 serial key or number

http://www.7tutorials.com/how-recover-your-lost-windows-7-or-windows-8-product-key

You can use any of the following tools to extract the Product Key from you computer. These tools report on many installed programs on your computer, not just Office.

PS: you should keep a copy (printed and/or file copies on external storage devices) of the report(s) generated by these tools so you have all of your product keys / registration numbers available for future re-installs

FYI: I (Rohn) have not tested these tools in Windows 8 (just haven’t had an excuse to make/waste the time), but I don’t expect any problem. The underlying mechanics of Windows 8 are essentially the same as Windows 7 if you ignore the Metro User Interface. Think of metro as “lipstick on a pig”. The pig is not changed by adding a little paint on the surface.

Normally you have several resources to find your Retail Product Key.

oYour original package or purchase confirmation e-mail

oOnline download account

oYou can extract the Product Key from the machine itself

oImage copy backups of system with Office installed

oActivation backup utilities

From what I’ve read, MS uses a file called TOKENS.DAT to store encrypted product activation keys:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\Tokens.DAT

C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing\Tokens.data

C:\Windows.Old\ProgramData\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\Tokens.DAT (if you did an in-place Windows Upgrade)

After you extract the Product Key, make sure to write it down and keep it in a safe place. Burning a copy of the installation file to a CD would also be a good idea if you don’t have the installation disk.

NOTE: OEM (factory install and activated) licenses use a different key than the one reported.  Only the factory can use the PK from the original factory activation. You would have been provided with a separate piece of paper with a Product key for reactivation.

I have tried the first 6 in this list with various degrees of success:

http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html  - not only does Belarc extract product keys, it reports on a WHOLE BUNCH of other stuff you want to know. Printing the report, or saving it is probably a good idea.

ProduKey may be able to extract product key information from a registry file saved externally. This is useful if you’re trying to get the key details from the backup of a now defunct machine. Try the /Regfile option.

<snip>

After installing on my system, I ran the program --> AS ADMINISTRATOR <-- and then clicked on File --> Select Source. Once in this menu it may appear a little overwhelming, don't worry it's not that complicated and your not going to break anything else. Select the circle next to "Load the product keys from external Software Registry hive". Now from here you may have to browse to a slightly different location depending on where your windows.old folder is located, but you want to basically browse to the following and open this file:

C:\Windows.old\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SOFTWARE

After opening this file select ok; you may have to wait a few minutes for it to load the hive and give you your keys, but if they're there you should see them and be able to fresh install your MS Office.

Please note that this did work for my Office 2007, it also gave me my Vista Home & Personal Key, and Internet Explorer... lol! I hope this helps someone else too! And remember backup before you do any upgrading/downgrading/or destruction to you PC.

I find this a little bothersome. Here are some points:

• If you do not supply a valid CD Key, you cannot install the software.
  For all you people that claim Hit the ignore button, that only appears in beta versions of Microsoft products
  (besides too many of you replied that very same message, looks like you downloaded too many Windows'95 betas from the internet!).
  It was also brought to my attention by R. Pickett, that upgrade versions of Windows'95 allow you to use the Ignore button, but require that you have an older version of Windows installed.
• My Plus Pack and Visual Basic Professional, they both share the same first 3 digits.
  How does this seperate the 2 products?
  People on the other side of the United States have the same first 3 digits of some of my software. What? Is Microsoft only tracking by continent now? Is there really a sequence to the last seven digits that can be recognized as a regional code?

If you can answer these questions please inform me!.

In either case, the CD Key is real a hassle on my part. I either lose the cases or my kids eat the sticker. Great how am I suppose to reinstall my software when my system crashes? Also if this IS being used as a scheme to foil piracy. It doesn't work, because one can easily copy the CD as well as the key.

C Source code is provided to show how a key can be authenticated.

• CD Keys are interchangable between Microsoft Products employing this scheme. This means you can take your Windows'95 CD Key and reuse it on your Microsoft Office Professional CD. This also works with Developer Level 2 and Level 3 CDs.
• CD Keys contain alphanumeric characters, however the REAL key only contains numbers (0..9). There are 2 types of keys being used at the moment. One is direct sales from Microsoft, we will call these MS Keys. The other is when you buy your computer and it comes prestock with Microsoft software, we will call these OEM Keys. In the first 3 characters of a MS Key or the first 8 characters of a OEM Key bear no value in authenticating the key itself. The next 7 characters are the key. Anything after that is more garbage. Perhaps this garbage is really a product code, OEM licensing information or just really garbage!

  
  
  
  
  
  Example of a MS Key

  
  
  
  
  
  Example of an OEM Key

• The last 7 seven digits is the real key. In the OEM version of the key its the 3rd set of digits, but the LAST 4 digits of the key. The first 3 digits of the key in the OEM verson must be zero. It was discovered that the digits do not need to follow a certain sequence. For example the key XXX-0123456 can simply be reverse to produce XXX-6543210 will still result in a valid key!. By this the demonstration we can conclude that the validation routine is either XOR or SUM based. It was later verified that it was a SUM validation routine.

• Strip off the 1st 3 digits.
• Take each digit left over and add them together.
  0 + 0 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 0 + 0 = 21.
• Now take the result modulos by 7. If value is 0 then the key is consider to be a authentic Microsoft CD Key. Note that the algorithm is MODULOS, not DIVISION, because the key 000-0000000 is consider to an authentic MS CD Key. You cannot take the sum of the real key and divide it by 7. You would get a division by 0 exception.
  21 / 7 = 3.0
