LicenseCrawler is pretty good, imo, but maybe Belarc Advisor will do
what you want. I use it occasionally, preferring to install a fresh copy
when I need it.

As suggested Belarc Advisor is a good one.

Another one that I like to use is SIW or System Information for Windows.

It can be found at http://www.gtopala.com.

I like that it does not need to be installed as you can run it directly
from the .exe file.

Another one I've used is SoftKey Revealer. ~160Kb, just unzip into a
folder and run. You can print or save to a document. Check the supported
products list - Office is there.
