Now Where Did I Put that key? It's got to be around here somewhere.

I took advantage of the long Labor Day holiday weekend to format my Tablet PC. On one hand I was lucky, because through various conferences, and Microsoft promotions, and so on, I have all the licenses I need for my machines. On the other hand I wasn't lucky, because I couldn't find my case for my copy of Microsoft Office 2007 that I had gotten at a Microsoft Launch event. Why didn't I add the key to my master list. I don't know. I guess the case was just too shinny for all that. Open-mouthed

I've found myself in this situation before, and in the past, I've always turned to Magic Jelly Bean Keyfinder.

Magic Jelly Bean Keyfinder

It works on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Windows Vista, Office 97, Office XP, and Office 2003.

Basically it works on everything BUT Microsoft Office 2007. Open-mouthed
