We have over a dozen licenses for Office 2000 Pro.
Most are installed.
I need to make certain that we don't install the same license on more than one computer.
I cannot find a location for the CD [Product] Key code [unlike the key for the operating system which is easily found in the registry]. All I find is the "Product ID" [xxxx-OEM-xxxx...] number which doesn't seem to exist in any meaningful way on the CD or with the CD [Product] Key.
Where is this key stored or how does the key relate to the OEM number so I can recreate the key to verify which computer has which license?

When you install Microsoft office, after you put in the cd key a box pops up saying "this is your product serial number" you should note this down when you install, then it would solve the problem, because you'd have the serial number (shown in help|about) for that particular office installation and you could compare that to the one written alongside your CD key...

Just a note, as long as you own enough licenses for office to be on each of the machines, it's not illegal to use the same CD key - that's what OEM licenses are. You don't have to worry about FAST coming round and taking you away, if that's what you're worried about...
In any other way I can be of no help sorry
