Product ID

This is a Vista Ultimate machine upgraded from XP Pro. Office 2007 was
installed but did not persist through to Vista. Office 2007 was a gift from
attending a Microsoft Session but I am virtually certain that it was not a
trial since it was used from XP more than six months. I recently installed a
trial version of Office 2007... If there was a full install of Office 2007
is there any way to retrive the PID of the full product version? I
understand that there are tools like powershell that might be able to drill
into the system for such information. Much thanks in advance for any
guidance.

If you 'registered' (not 'activated') the product, you can call MS for the
key. Your support site for MS will give you the number to call.

You won't be able to retrieve the product key unless the product is
installed with the key already.
You can use the following product to do so:
