My question is rather technical about the new way of managing Product Key with Office 2013 and driven by curiosity.
#Where to find office 2013 product key software#
So to reformulate the question: isn't the Product Key stored somewhere locally on the computer anymore with Office 2013? Because if no, that would explain why third party software can't retrieve it anymore. But I noticed that it can't retrieve Office 2013 Product Key anymore whereas it was able with previous versions of Office. Therefore, a simple solution is to use inventory The licenses are genuine but since I'm not the one who purchased and installed these computer, I don't know them. MS does not give users ANYTHING to display the Product Key. All you can see is the 'Product ID', which is generated by a 1-way Hash from the Product Key. You need to sign-in to your account to get the product key. If you have a digital license or if you're subscribed to Office 365, the product key is associated to your Microsoft account. There is a 1:1 correspondence between the Product Key and Product ID, so you can use that to match them. If you have a perpetual license disk of Microsoft Office 2013, you can find the product key on the disk. During this inventory, I retrieve Windows and Office Product Key. You can get the Product ID by going to File menu > Accounts command > About button. Indeed, I took over a computer park in a companyĪnd I'm performing an IT inventory. Thanks for your answer although it's a typical half useless reply from an official Microsoft staff.Īctually, I understand that Microsoft doesn't support third party software to retrieve a product key but my question was rather technical and driven by curiosity rather by the need of retrieving the product key.
