Any "legit" software for fishing up software key codes?? Anyone?

[thrwy_guy]

I have Visio 2010 installed on my laptop, but I have no idea what happened to the original disc/product key (i moved a bunch of times since 2010, it probably got lost or thrown away in the chaos, etc). And before you ask, no, i don't have the original receipts or documentation either. I plan to wipe my laptop's HDD before selling it but would like to "keep" my Office 2010 suite and Visio 2010 software.

Is there any way to "manually" find the key code? Or any "legit" software that can do this?

Where would i go about starting my search for this key code??

Thanks in advance, best answer wins.

Belarc Advisor does exactly this.
Assuming they are all valid licenses, it should find them.
As always, whatever licensing rules apply to these applications take precedence over whatever you find.

How are you planning to wipe the laptop drive?
And are you reinstalling the OS on it?
