I also ran belarc advisor and it retrieved the Windows and office keys, but my issue is the last 5 retrieved by the method above don't match the last 5 retrieved by belarc. So I don't know which one to believe, I just hope my hard drive doesn't die.

You could always install open office or libre office.

Thanks for the leads.
