SUMMARY
This article describes the numbering scheme that is used by Microsoft Office-family programs and utilities.



MORE INFORMATION
When you install Office or any of the stand-alone Office programs, a product code or GUID is created in the following section of the Windows registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

The following is the format that is used by each GUID:

{WXYYZZZZ-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9} Note In Microsoft Visio, the following is the format that is used by each GUID: {WXYYZZZZ-6D54-11D4-BEE3-00C04F990354}

The first eight characters of the GUID contain information about the release type, edition type, store-keeping unit (SKU), and language of the product. The remaining digits in the GUID (11D3-8CFE-...) do not provide any easily categorizable information.

                                                     Used Characters  Definition                               Hex values -- W           Release type                             0-9, A-F X           Edition type                             0-2 YY          SKU of the product                       10-35 ZZZZ        Language identifier of the product       any required

You can view the GUIDs for programs that are installed on your computer by following these steps:  Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK. Locate the following subkey:



The GUIDs should be the first items that are listed under Uninstall, because their names start with braces.

Each GUID's data pane contains multiple values, including the product name that appears in the Add/Remove Programs dialog box (DisplayName), the date that the product was installed (InstallDate), the product ID (Product ID), the installation source (InstallSource), and the registered company and user name (RegCompany, RegOwner).

Release type
The release type values specify the level of the release, for example, Beta versus RTM. See the following table for details. <pre class="fixed_text">Value   Release -- 0       Any release before Beta 1 1       Beta 1 2       Beta 2 3       RC0<BR/> 4       RC1/OEM Preview Release 5-8     reserved values 9       RTM (first shipped version) A       SR1 (unused if the product code is not changed after RTM) B       SR2 (unused if the product code is not changed after RTM) C       SR3 (unused if the product code is not changed after RTM) D-F     reserved values

Edition type
The edition type specifies the audience for the Office product, for example, Enterprise or Retail. See the following table for details. <pre class="fixed_text">Value   Edition

0       Enterprise 1       Retail/OEM 2       Trial

Office SKU
The Office SKU is the version of your Office product, for example, Professional versus Standard. See the following table for details. <pre class="fixed_text">Value SKU

Language identifier
The language identifier, or LCID, varies from language to language. Because the LCID is stored in the GUID in hexadecimal format, you may need to convert it to decimal in order to determine the language of the GUID. For example, 0409 hexadecimal is equivalent to 1033 decimal, which translates to English.

Sample GUID
If the GUID starts with 90280407, you know that the GUID was created by the initial released version (9) of an Enterprise edition (0) of Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage (28), and that the language of the product is German (0407 hexadecimal = 1031 decimal = German).
