Hi,

The licence is generally associated with the Microsoft account used during activation.

Visit https://account.microsoft.com/services.
Sign in using any Microsoft accounts you or your wife may have used.
Check whether Microsoft Office appears under Products you've purchased or Services & subscriptions.
If you have multiple email addresses, try signing in with each one.

Additionally, Search your email inboxes for messages from Microsoft containing terms such as Microsoft Office, Order confirmation, Product key, or Microsoft 365.

I hope this information helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you good luck!

To find which account the Office license is associated with, use these steps:

On a PC where Office is still activated, open any Office app such as Word or Excel.
Go to File > Account.
Under the product name, check Belongs to. That shows the Microsoft account associated with that Office license.

If Office is not available on any device, check Microsoft account subscriptions:

Sign in to the Services & subscriptions page with each Microsoft account that might have been used.
If the license is linked to that account, Office will appear there and can be reinstalled from that page.

Important details:

The full Office product key cannot be viewed inside Office.
For most Office and Microsoft 365 purchases, the Microsoft account replaces the product key for reinstalling and activating Office.
If the license does not appear, it may be under a different Microsoft account.
If this is a Microsoft 365 for business license and the required license is missing, the Microsoft 365 admin or IT staff must help assign or add the license.
