Unfortunately they are horribly disorganized and literally lost all the licenses information for office. I did a little digging around and happened to find this nifty little tool. It locates the registry key where the product keys are kept, decrypts it and plops it in plane text for your viewing pleasure. Really helpful for reinstalling office when someone lost a product key. Or for reinstalling windows when someone killed the COA on the computer case.
