New License Key for Project 2007

Yes you can extract product keys from your old HD. Here are some tools to do that:

Tools to Extract Product Key

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

1. Your original package or purchase confirmation email
2. Online download account
3. You can extract the Product Key from the machine itself
4. Image copy backups of system with Office installed
5. Activation backup utilities

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.
