Is there any way I can recover my product key for outlook 2002 from a backup of my registry when it was installed?

As near as I have been able to tell, MS applications do not store their product key, or serial numbers, in the registry.

Also, newer MS software generates the storred serial number from the product key.
The last software to store the product keyin the registry was Windows 98.

If you can't find the product key, I would consider buying a new license.

I now make sure to copy down my product keys in at least 3 places so I have them.
