    If you have no key for it, then I should imagine it's a trial version (60 day possibly). A lot of new machines come with an office trial bundled in.

    Check your original Dell invoice. It should say if it comes with a trial version or not. Either way, you can't just "know a key"...

    Download and run Belarc Advisor. It will tell all the keys available on your system

    cheers ...
