Using Produkey to find old Microsoft Office (2010, and others?) product keys from old hard drives

This video shows you how to find old product keys off of unused hard drives so you can use them again. I used this to find my old microsoft office key so I could reinstall this on another hard drive.

Somethings this can be used for:
*Finding an old windows CD-key so you can reinstall it and have a genuine copy of windows on a new hard drive.
*moving copies of software (such as the expensive Microsoft office) to other hard drives when the original packaging has been lost.
*finding your lost product key

Basic requirements:
The hard drive needs to still be functional to be read. Don’t expect this to work with a broken hard drive.

Supported product keys:
Microsoft Windows 98/ME
Microsoft Windows 2000
Microsoft Windows NT
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows Vista
Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Microsoft Windows 7 (Doesn’t work with Microsoft Volume Licensing)
Microsoft Windows 8 (Doesn’t work with Microsoft Volume Licensing)
Microsoft Office 2000 (Only ProductID is displayed)
Microsoft Office 2003
Microsoft Office 2007
Microsoft Office 2010
Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Microsoft Exchange Server 2000
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003

After you get the key you wanted, you are going to need to go to Microsoft’s website and download the program (unless you have the cd). Microsoft’s website sucks to navigate, but I was able to finally find a download link and move my copy of office 2010.
