Re: How do I verify that product ID has not been used?



Tom;
No, there is no way to tell if a specific key has been used.
There are tools you can use to identify the Product Key used to install on a
specific computer.

I have been given a small task of finding out if the product keys in Windows
and Office have already used. Is there a utility on the web that I can go
to and use to verify that the license has not been already used?
