    Can this be done? Some kind of backup/ hack of the certificates / product / activation ID etc?

    I have some old Office 2003 media so re-install is not a problem. But is there any way to MIGRATE the GENUINE-ness information to the new / fresh install?

    Yes... if using VL key, then there will be no activation at all.

    What if its not a VLK? (I dont really know what kind of key it is as the CD and media etc are all in my friends city / apartment and I cant check).

    PS: I used the Product Key Finder apps to get the CD Key and Product ID. Can I use them to check what kind of KEY it is? Is there anyway to do that?

    Code:
    Windows Vista (TM) Home Premium Service Pack 2
    Product Part No.: XXX
    Installed from 'OEM' media.
    Product ID: XXXXX-OEM-XXXXXXX-XXXXX  match to CD Key data
    CD Key: XX..
    Computer Name: XXX
    Registered Owner: HP
    Registered Organization: Hewlett-Packard
    
    Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003
    Product ID: XX
    CD Key: XXXX
    
    Windows Information
    Windows Vista (TM) Home Premium
