Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: pop

I have a client with many copies of 2008 boxed versions. They don't know which copy was installed on what machine.

Of course each has a product ID but if you don't write that down matching up to each serial number it's of no use.

Is there anyway of showing what serial is in use so we can start matching them up for admin purposes.

FYI, five or more Office licenses qualify for a volume license, which
has only one serial number. Start here for details:

Hope this helps!
