How to check the Office License Key

Find license keys for Office 2010, Office 2013, Office 2016 and Office 2019 via a script

Office 2010 and later include a vbs-script which will reveal the last 5 characters of your Product Key. It’s pretty safe to state that these 5 characters would already be more than enough to find out which Product Key you have used (as you should already have safely stored the full Product Key code somewhere else together with your other license information).

You can run the vbs-file in the following way;

1. Open a command prompt. For instance via:
   • Start-> type: cmd
2. In the command prompt, type the following:
   • Office 2016/2019 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows
     cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
   • Office 2016/2019 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
     cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
   • Office 2016/2019 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
     cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
   • Office 2013 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows
     cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
