The script does pull the last 5 digits, which does not match any of the current keys I have saved. I have the old hard drive, and can still operate Office on it (except Outlook which suffers from the original drive issue). Windows was easy, as this is a Dell computer, but Office still requires the key to be entered. Of course now I've lost that paper, and need to re-install Office due to the computer's drive crashing. I have one particular machine where I purchased Office 2013 Pro with the machine, and of course it came pre-installed but without the key, which was required to be entered from the little piece of paper that came with the computer. Normally License Crawler works wonders on almost every machine I try it on. This issue is about to make me pull my hair out. MS wants to sell 365 solutions, not OEM -) Then install the Office package at the computer, knowing you are home safe if you or your customer forgets either login or changes mail address or whatever. Put that key in your local administered archive/documentation. Been there, tried it.Ĭonclusion: Register the product, choose "install from Disc", choose to burn your own disc, and from there you can see your actual product key. This Means, that should you or your customer forget the account they used for registering the PKC initially, there is no way you can regain access to the paid for Office product. Microsoft will not help (they say, they have no way of doing so) if you loose the product key or login to the account in question. When ever the PKC has been used, it can not be used to retrieve any information in the future. Users that register several keys under same account, should consider logging the keys in a local archive. According to Belarc, the product keys for Office 2013 is not stored locally on the computer, only the last 5 digits seem to be what is available for identification.
