By 'CD Key' presumably you mean Product Key. Product ID: Identifies the product. Product Key: Used during installation to validate the product and allow its use past a trial period. Also called the License Key. So, no, the product ID will not give you a product key. The product ID is the same value for every copy of the product. If the product key were based solely off the product ID then EVERYONE would have the same product key. It would only take one person to leak what was their product ID for everyone to have a product KEY that works for validation. Sorry but not every user is sharing the same product key. You need the Product *Key* to validate the product to continue using it past the 30-day trial period. I believe the opposite of what you want is possible. That is, the product ID (after installation of the product) can be determined from the product key. The product key identifies the product for which it is applicable. When you call Microsoft and give them only the product key, they can figure out which product it is for. So you'll have to go buy a legitimate license or copy of MS Office instead of trying to steal a copy. If you had a legit license of MS Office and lost the product key (no marked CD, no CD sleeve sticker, no COA sticker on the computer) then call Microsoft to get a new product key issued to you -- once you can convince them you purchased a retail license from them. If it's an OEM license then you'll have to call the OEM'er on getting a new product key -- once you prove you purchased it from them or you can prove you are the owner of an account you have with them that tracks your purchase. http://thenubbyadmin.com/2011/09/19/...y-product-key/ |
