[dba-Tech] Office Key

It is stored in the Registry, but I have no idea how to get it - it is buried somewhere in there 
in an encrypted format.

If you can boot the drive, Magic Jelly Bean Keyfinder will find that and other MS product 
keys for you.  http://www.magicaljellybean.com/

Since it is a Sourcedforge, project, you may be able to work out how to get the infor from an 
off-line registry by looking at the source code.
