How can I find my Microsoft office product key?

I went through about 2 or 3 PC's...(by the way, Toshiba SUCKS! Don't ever buy one.) Anyway, I brought 2-3 computers and they all crashed for one reason or another. but this was about maybe 10+ years ago. I computers were Office came on the computer and once I actually bought a product key. I can't find it, but I have my old computers and just the box where my office product key came in. I have absolutely no idea where it is, especially after moving. Anybody have any ideas on how to get it? I called support, but they sad without the email I used, there is no way to pull it up.

If this was 10 years ago, the product is most likely outdated. Microsoft has moved to a cloud model, with Office 365, where you buy a yearly license, and the software is updated automatically. It allows you to use Microsoft office on 5 different computers and 5 mobile devices, each comes with 1TB worth of cloud storage.

Even if you find the key, that product is no longer available.

Do the computers work at all? You can download a program that will find your key on your hard drive.

@jjoe01 ??🙄🤔That even sounds scary and I don't even know what it is. I don't think I want to go anywhere near where the word "hacker" is though. 😁

If your computer came preloaded with Microsoft Windows, the software product key is usually on a multicolored, Microsoft-branded sticker on your PC case. For Microsoft Office, you can find the sticker on the installation disc that accompanied the computer. If all else fails, you will need to contact Microsoft to obtain a replacement key.

Since you cannot provide the email or no longer have access to it you are pretty much screwed, I am sorry.

@sweetiepoo I had to do this once and it was a big pain in the tush...I actually do not recall how it turned out, I think I had to buy a new product key!
