Very neat and actually since you're using WMI to read HKLM, you could retrieve the information remotely without having to include it in a login script.

est: are you using the HTA version, in my third post?? becuase i've tested that on a machine with office 2007 (full not beta) and that worked fine?? you could check if the key exists manualy.... should be in HKLM>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>OFFICE>12>{GUID}>"DigitalProductID" arnabvb: where was this key located? There will be many references to a key called "ProductID" this is Relates to your Product Installation ID that is displayed under you sytem properties.. This value is generated from a number of details, including... the Machine hardware, type of disc used for instalation.. and the Product key used. I couldn't find a key call Product Key on my machine. I know windows 98 used to store the Product key directly in the regitry using a key called "Product Key", are you using win98, or was your PC upgraded from windows 98? (This script doesn't run on windows 98) if you post the key value, i can check into it... It is also possible to retrieve a key from aniother PC that wont boot, by copying the DAT Files for the registry from the harddrive, and loading them into a live registry. I will post instructions and a script to do this as soon as i get chance.
