Verifying Product Key in Microsoft Access

[JoshFink]

Hopefully someone can help me out with this.

We have about 20 different copies of Microsoft Access XP and 2000. The person who installed these never wrote down what product keys went with what machine. We are upgrading a lot of the machines to XP and need to reinstall XP. We'd like to use the same key that we used before.

Is there any kind of tool that I can run on the computer with access and figure out which product key was used on that computer?

Thanks for all the help

Josh

Can you just load up access and click on Help and About, it says product key there. David Lerwill

Honestly, if you have the license, it does not matter if you install the same one 2, 3 or more times. It is the license that matters, not the installation. _{If 'something' 'somewhere' gives 'some' error, excpect random guesses or no replies at all. Please specify details.

Is it seriously in the Help -> About? I hope not as I am really embararassed if it is..

I know it's the license that matters, but it would be NICE to actually have it right.

Thanks again for the help,

Josh

Josh,

Don't make your job harder than it already is. ;-) Just make sure if you have 20 licenses, that you have only 20 installations. I have over 250 users, and when we upgraded to Office 2000 way back, I used the same in CD/key to install them all from, I just make darn sure that for every install, I have a valid license to cover it (which, of course, I do). After all, once it's installed, what does it really matter? Just make sure the license is valid and you're fine.

My point exactly, and 'NICE' gives you headaches ;-) .

And BTW, dwlerwill, the Help- About gives you the Product ID, NOT the key !!! (I guess it is pub-time now)
