Finding Office 2010 Product Key

Open Word and in the menu bar go to Word-->About Word. The About Word dialog box will display your Product ID.

 

I'm confused by your response to this thread. How does a link to buy Office 2011 help the OP when he just said he would "rather not?"

 

Amazon should have the key in the order history if you originally bought it there.

 

You could try copying the folders the user is instructed to delete in this thread from your MacBook to your iMac (do NOT delete them ). That should copy the key over.

 

You can probably search it out in the plist files, but be careful not to delete / move anything there.

Failing that if you registered the product you can go to the MS registration page and the key should appear there along with any other MS products you own.

 

The OP already stated above that they bought it at a computer shop in Germany, NOT Amazon. The mods came along and deleted the spammy post I quoted earlier. I have also edited my quote to remove the link.

 

Not if he bought the boxed version. The key is inside the box and is completely unavailable until the box is opened.

Product ID != Product key. The Product ID will not help here.

OP, I know you said you lost the box, but if you still have the install disc, Microsoft should be able to help. If you don't have the install disc, I don't know of anywhere on the hard drive the key can be recovered. It's not stored on your mac in a readable format as far as I can tell.
