How to retrieve Product Key for Microsoft Office 2003 Professional

[jc79]

Ok, so I was having problems with a Trojan Virus and I took my computer to get it fixed.

After a couple of days the guys at the computer repair place told me that it wasn't as easy as they thought it would be, so they ended up re-formating my computer (deleting everything) but they created a backup of all my stuff first.

So now I'm having to reinstall all my programs including microsoft office 2003 professional edition.

I have the CD's but I don't have the case or the product key.

I'm wondering if I can still find my old Product Key in the backup files, I'm guessing it should be in there, I just can't find it...
the directory is this C:\backup\Program Files\Microsoft Office ... and in there 8 main folders: clipart, media, office10, office11, office12, stationery, templates, visio11 and then many subfolders.

I hope somebody can help me

You can have a look at this article and get some information regarding the issue that you are facing. Am sure it will be helpful for you. Other than that I am not sure whether you will get the key from the folder that is been saved as backup. You may find a way to get or recover the key for Office suite that you use.
