TTBOMK, the key isn't stored in the registry. I'm not sure whether a
keyfinder (e.g. Magic JellyBean, Belarc Adviser or Everest) would locate it.
If not, he's SOL as MS discontinued all support for that version of the
Works Suite nearly two years ago.

If that is the case then all I can recommend is that he upgrades.

Maybe look at this. Not sure if it will work on MS Works.

Belarc Advisor lists the MS Works key.

Magical Jellybean Key Finder and Nirsoft's ProduKey won't list MS Works key.

Your "not sure?" then WHY do you bother?
AND if your "not sure" how can you recommend anything?
