Office Key Remover

[ajc196]

I ran across this today, and it's actually pretty useful. It's a small, portable tool that removes the product key for Office XP/2003/2007/2010 with the click of a button. This way, you can put in a new or different key for whatever reason.

Just FYI this can be done manually very easily as detailed here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/895456)

Yep, that's the way I used to do it with regedit. But if the long, eye-straining, infuriating regedit method works, go for it. ;)

PS - Verified working tool, tried in my own virtual machines with Office 2010 Pro, 2007 H&S, and Office XP Standard.

Thanks for this. I have done it through the registry before, any tool that can do it beats that :)
