is it possible to obtain some registration information for Office and Windows via VBA by registed information I mean Product ID for Office, Product ID for Windows etc.
Here is the sample code about how to obtain product IDS via VBA (from our support engineer).< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Private Declare Function RegOpenKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegOpenKeyA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, phkResult As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function RegQueryValueEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegQueryValueExA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpValueName As String, ByVal lpReserved As Long, lpType As Long, ByVal lpData As String, lpcbData As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function RegCloseKey Lib "advapi32.dll" (ByVal hKey As Long) As Long
