So I need to install 2013 but I don't want them to lose their key/purchase. Problem is, 2016 doesn't work on our network. I am working on a laptop that wasn't purchased by our company, and the user bought office 2016. is place where you can find windows product key, microsoft office product key, ativate windows, activate. It will allow you copy the recovered product keys to the clipboard, save it to a file and print it out for safe keeping. If I understood correctly, the key cannot be found in the registry, and magical jelly bean and keyfinder were no use. While you might not think it to be much value the issue is that NOW, Microsoft requires all OEM/Retail Office 2016 installations to be registered into a Microsoft account - thus you can retrieve your keys that way - but there's no way to know which key is in use on which machine. Lazesoft Windows Key Finder will find, copy to the clipboard, display and allow you to print out your Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, 2012 or 7 product key and all versions of Microsoft Office product keys. It would be VERY COOL for this to be added as a new feature in Lansweeper. I am perfectly well aware that with Office 2016 installations Microsoft does NOT store the product key in the Registry.īUT - Microsoft DOES store PART of the key on the machine! Specifically the last 5 digits - there is a discussion about how to run cscript to retrieve them here: Now, BEFORE you start sending me to the newbie links, I HAVE read:

However, it does not appear to be able to gather the product keys. Although with Nirsoft Key finder I found a key of office Professional 2013. I have the latest version of Lansweeper running, it has no problems finding OEM/retail MS Office Home & Business 2016 installations.
