- Find MS Office 2010 product key with Office disk Check the physical container of the Office disk if you purchase the Office 2010 from an electronic retail outlet. The product key is usually on the case of the disk, often on a label called the Certificate of Authenticity. You can find Office 2010 serial number easily.
- Office 2010 and Office 2013 do not store their product keys in an easily accessible location in the registry file and many third party programs cannot scan for them. However, you can use a script to find the last five digits of the product key. Open the Command Prompt by searching for “cmd” in Windows.

Method 2: Find MS Office 2010 Product Key in Registry When you are installing Windows, there will always be a product license key that is entered into the installation wizard. The key is saved in the Windows registry. Follow the steps below to find the MS Office product key back.
Sometimes after uninstalling older versions of Microsoft Office some registry keys are left behind. This causes Spiceworks to think that those older versions of Office are still installed, even though the actual program files are all removed. You can follow the steps here to clean up those old registry keys so Spiceworks can get a proper inventory of the software on the machine.
NOTE: Please make a backup of Registry before making any changes to it. You can severely damage a machine if an incorrect edit is made.

Step 1: Open up RegEdit
Open up RegEdit by going to Start>Run and typing 'regedit' and pressing Enter or OK. You can also enter the 'regedit' command into a Command Prompt to open up the editor.
Step 2: Locate the Office Registry Key

Microsoft stores all of the installation information for Office Products in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice. Underneath this key you will see various version numbers, each corresponding to different versions of Office. They are as follows:
-9.0 is Office 2000
-10.0 is Office XP
-11.0 is Office 2003
-12.0 is Office 2007
-14.0 is Office 2010
Step 3: Locate the Corresponding Registration Key
Underneath each of the version number keys you should see a 'Registration' key. Depending on how many Office products you have installed (Visio, Project, etc. all will be stored underneath one of those version keys) on the machine there will be multiple hashed keys present underneath the Registration key. Each of these hashed keys should have a value underneath it called 'ProductName'. You can use this value to correctly determine which hashed key is related to the product you want to remove.
Step 4: Delete the Hashed Key

Once you have located the correct hashed registry key, delete it. As mentioned above, though, make sure you have a good backup before doing this!
Once you have performed the steps above run a scan on the device by either running a full network scan or a rescan underneath the Tools section of the device. Once the scan is complete you should see that the long deleted Office products are now gone from your Spiceworks Inventory. If the scan is still showing that the software is present, you might need to disable Incremental Scanning in Settings>Network Scan.

Thank you so much! Finally someone narrowed down which keys to delete! I could only recommend a general registry cleaner to others having this issue.

Nice. Good to know exactly what to look for, when even the M$ 'fix it' doesn't get it all.

Office 2010 is really bad about removing these keys so this is a all too common task for me!

Nice.. thank you!

Thank you for this! I've started doing Office upgrades on our workstation, and it was driving me crazy that my Spiceworks inventory showed multiple versions installed on a machine when there clearly was not.

It didn't do it for me a first. Until now...
Solved!1. Disable Incremental Scanning in Settings>Network Scan. – Super Important!!!
2. Use Microsoft fixit http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9669698
3. Scan Device.
Thanx a lot!
