I am giving a laptop away but I am not including software such as Office 2010. Although I uninstalled Office 2010, the associated Product or CD Key still is identifiable via software like Magical Jelly Bean (Caution with this nasty app as it installs bonuses like toolbar crap). I searched the registry but the Key must be encoded because I could not find it.

How can I delete once and for all references, especially the Product Key, to the no longer installed Office 2010?

Of course I waited to the last minute to sanitize this machine so my wife is now getting antsy because she is flying out in the morning with it to give a relative.
 
W7 but I just fixed the problem. Although I uninstalled Office, I just noticed something associated with Outlook that was hiding in the list of software to uninstall. After killing that the Office product key was gone.
