But the forth link turned up a forums post on that had the comment I googled “ recover product key from Office 2008 for mac” to see if the was software or a method for extracting the Product Key from the currently installed version, but all methods for doing that were Windows related, and useless for me.
With all the stuff thrown out was the Jewel Case that the Office 2008 DVD had come with, and hence the Product Key. Having just bought new equipment, there had been boxes everywhere, and a clean up had been done to cull all the boxes, and stuff that wasn’t needed anymore. Last thing that was going on as I was planning on leaving was that they were installing Adobe CS3 Design Standard (Academic) and Office 2008 for Mac (Home and Student Edition). You know the usual in regards to changing from PC to Mac (they also got a new 20″ iMac), printer issues, Mail issues, etc. Of course I got roped into fixing the other problems that they were going through with their new Mac setup. I was round at a friends place last night, delivering my old MacBook which I sold to them (after having it repaired).
