Find Ms Office Product License Key

🏦 Find MS Office Product/License Key

Finding your Microsoft Office license information is crucial for verifying your product key, checking your subscription status, or transferring your license.

This method works for Office 2013, 2016, 2019, and Office 365/Microsoft 365.

  1. Open an Office Application (e.g., Word, Excel, or PowerPoint).
  2. Click on File in the top-left corner.
  3. Select Account (or Office Account).
  4. View Product Information: Under the Product Information section, you’ll see details about your Office product, including the product name and whether it’s a subscription or a one-time purchase.

Method 2: Using Command Prompt (To Find Last 5 Digits)

This method displays the license status and the last five characters of the product key, which is usually enough to identify the key in your records.

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator: Press $\text{Windows} + \text{S}$, type cmd, right-click $\rightarrow$ Run as administrator.
  2. Navigate to Office Installation Directory: Run the command that matches your Office version and installation type (check the bit-ness of your installation):
Office Version 64-bit Command 32-bit Command
Office 2016/2019/365 cd \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16 cd \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16
Office 2013 cd \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15 cd \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15
  1. Run the License Command: 
    cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus
  2. View License Information: Look for the section detailing the last five characters of the installed product key.

Method 3: Using Microsoft Account (For Full Keys/Subscriptions)

This is the definitive method for managing and retrieving retail keys associated with your account.

  1. Sign in to Your Microsoft Account: Go to the Microsoft Account page and sign in with the email address associated with your Office product.
  2. View Subscriptions and Services:
    • Under Subscriptions, see details about your Office 365/Microsoft 365 subscription.
    • Under Services & subscriptions, find information about one-time purchases of Office, where you can often view the full product key or manage the license.

Method 4: Using Registry Editor (Advanced)

This method is advanced and should be used with caution.

  1. Open Registry Editor: Press $\text{Windows} + \text{R}$, type regedit, and press Enter.
  2. Navigate to Office Key:
    • Office 2016/2019/365: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Registration
    • Office 2013: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Registration
  3. Find Product Information: Look for a subkey with a long GUID (Globally Unique Identifier). On the right, look for DigitalProductID or ProductID, which contains encrypted or partial information about your product key.

Method 5: Use a Third-Party Tool

  1. Download a Key Finder Tool: Tools like Belarc Advisor or ProduKey are designed to extract product keys for installed software, including Microsoft Office.
  2. Run the Tool: Install and run the tool, which will scan your system and display product keys for various installed software.
