How can I
change the CD Key of my Office XP
installation?
You can do
it by editing the Registry. Apply this
procedure:
-
Locate
your valid product CD Key, which is
located on the back of the original
CD case.
-
On the
Start menu, click Run.
-
In the
Open box, type Regedit, and then
click OK.
-
In
Registry Editor, find the following
subkey:
Click
the plus sign (+) next to this
folder. If you see only one subkey
in this folder that has a
32-character {GUID} (globally unique
identifier), select that subkey and
go to step 5.
If you
see more than one subkey that has a
32-character {GUID}, select each one
until you find the one whose
DisplayName value (in the right
pane) matches your version of
Office.
-
For
the selected {GUID} subkey, select
the ProductID string value in the
right pane.
-
On the
Edit menu, click Rename.
-
Type
OldProductID
and
then press ENTER.
-
On the
Registry menu, click Exit.
