One of the frustrating things you will come across as a PC user, is having to enter a long serial number to play a game, or when you install Windows, or even when you need to install a commercial application. If that’s not bad enough, it gets even worse when the packaging for the software has become misplaced or damaged in such a way that the product key is not readable or available when it needs to be entered to use the software. Of course, there are ways to retrieve product keys from a running computer, and this is where keeping a backup of your license keys is a good idea.

As many product keys are quite long, it’s a bit tiresome having to enter them in every time you install a piece of software, Windows and Microsoft Office being two products that both come with long product keys. The handy thing about Microsoft’s programs though, is that both of them can have their installations modified to make the install process less interactive or even almost totally silent. One simple trick you can do for Office is have the setup automatically recognize your own license key during install, so you don’t have to remember, look for or try and decipher it.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on how to do insert your Office product key into the setup process so you don’t have to enter it manually again.First things first, you will need to insert your Microsoft Office CD/DVD and copy all the files from it to a folder on your hard drive. An ISO image of an Office disc is also acceptable.
Office XP / Office 2003
1. Open the Office folder on the hard drive and go to FilesSetup, right click on the Setup.ini file, select Properties and uncheck Read-only if your CD is an original.
2. Open up the Setup.ini in Notepad, locate the section called [Options], then insert a line with PIDKEY=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY. Replace the letters with your genuine Office product key, but don’t include the dashes “-” in the key.
3. Now save the file. You can also optionally set the user name and company name if you wish, just remove the semicolon from the line.
Office 2007 / Office 2010 / Office 2013
For Office 2007, 2010 and 2013, the file that you need to modify is different and the file structure of the CD/DVD contents is also not quite the same as Office XP/2003.
1. Open the Office folder copied to your hard drive and look for a folder such as ProPlusr.WW, Standard.WW, Pro.WW or HomeStudentr.WW. Depending on your Office version, there will be a folder with that name and a “.WW” extension. Go into the .WW folder.
2. Open the config.xml file in Notepad and remove the comment (“<!–” and “–>”) out of the code for PIDKEY and enter the 25 digit Office CD Key WITHOUT dashes. then save the file.
For Office 2010 and 2013 this line will likely be missing from the xml file so you have to manually add it in yourself. Just insert the line with your own key:
<PIDKEY Value='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY' />
Save the xml file and now when you run Microsoft Office setup, you will still see the dialog window where it asks you to enter the product key but it’s been automatically inserted for you. No more memorizing the CD key, or wasting any precious time trying to find it. A simple trick to make our tech life easier.
After doing this, you might want to write Office back out to CD/DVD for future use. It’s easily possible to use one of the many pieces of software that can burn files to disc by simply adding all the files from the folder on your hard drive to the project and burning the media.
Working with an Office ISO Image
Although you can install Office from the hard drive after it’s been extracted from disc and the ini/xml file has been edited to include the product key, if you have an ISO image of Office, it’s also very easy to extract the ini/xml file and then add add it back to the ISO without extracting the whole disc contents.
Most of the dedicated ISO editing tools around are shareware and have 300MB size limits for editing, but an old freeware version if WinISO is able to edit ISO files of CD images without limitation. Using this you can edit Office CD ISO files.
1. Download and install WinISO Free 5.3, enter the registration information from the included readme file.
2. Open the Office ISO image and locate the appropriate file from the instructions above depending on your version of Office. Then right click and extract it to a folder or drag and drop to the desktop etc.
3. Right click on the file in the WinISO window and delete it. When you want to add the edited file, simply drop it into the same folder or right click -> Add Files to replace the deleted ini or xml. Click Save to overwrite the original ISO image or go to File -> Save as to create a new one.
You now have an ISO image with the product key built in which can be burned to CD or mounted with ISO mounting software.

ReplyWinISO Free 5.3 has a size limit of 100MB and does not meet the statement you have shown above regarding editing the config.xml file. Any better suggestions out there?
ReplyYou haven’t read the article correctly, you need to register WinISO Free with the information in the included Readme text file, that unlocks it.
“1. Download and install WinISO Free 5.3, enter the registration information from the included readme file.”

Nice one!
ReplyNice tip Raymod. I would suggest you take a look at Office Resource Kit(ORK) (each per distribution XP, 2003, 2007). It allows total automation of office including keys, choices (like what to install). It creates .mst file that you just have to use as a parameter. Then you could deploy prepared office in matter of seconds. No more sitting in front of pc and clicking next next next ;)
ReplyThanks for this nice information.
ReplyThanks Ray it Save time & make installation process easy.

I’ve got several licenses for Office and Outlook but I’m not sure which one which ones I’ve used and which ones are free.
How can I find out which license I’ve used for which computer and how can I change the key if needed?
While you could simply try one of your Product/License Keys and see if it gets accepted, it’s not a very sophisticated approach.
The proper method to determine or change the Product Key depends on your version of Office or Outlook. However, for either version there is no need to completely reinstall Office.
Note: Office 365 installations don’t require a license key as they activate automatically when you log on to Office with your Microsoft Account. The same applies to Office 2016 and Office 2019 licenses that are linked to your Microsoft Account.
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;
- Open a command prompt. For instance via:
- Start-> type:
cmd
- Start-> type:
- In the command prompt, type the following:
- Office 2016/2019 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows
cscript 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice16OSPP.VBS' /dstatus
- Office 2016/2019 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
cscript 'C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice16OSPP.VBS' /dstatus
- Office 2016/2019 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
cscript 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice16OSPP.VBS' /dstatus
- Office 2013 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows
cscript 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice15OSPP.VBS' /dstatus
- Office 2013 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
cscript 'C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice15OSPP.VBS' /dstatus
- Office 2013 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
cscript 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice15OSPP.VBS' /dstatus
- Office 2010 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows
cscript 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice14OSPP.VBS' /dstatus
- Office 2010 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
cscript 'C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice14OSPP.VBS' /dstatus
- Office 2010 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
cscript 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice14OSPP.VBS' /dstatus
- Office 2016/2019 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows
- You should now get a screen with some license details such as the license name, type and the last 5 characters of the Product Key.

Office offers a scripted method to lookup your Product Key.
Changing the Product Key for Office 2010 / 2013 / 2016 / 2019
Changing the Product Key for msi-based installations of Office can be done directly from the Control Panel/Apps & Features or via a command line.
Product Keys for Click-to-Run based installations of Office can only be modified via the command line.
- Windows 10
Start-> Settings-> Apps & Features - Windows 7 and Windows 8
Start-> Control Panel-> Uninstall a Program
Here, locate your Office application and press Modify or Change. Setup will now start with the option “Enter a Product Key” which allows you to enter a different product key.
Microsoft Office 2003 Serial Numbers
To change the Product Key via a command line, you can use the same OSPP.VBS script as mentioned before. Instead of using the
/dstatus
switch, you must use the /inpkey:value
switch where you should replace value
for your Product Key.Changing the Product Key for Office XP/2002 / 2003 / 2007
Changing the Product Key for Office 2007 or previous requires you to go into the Registry.
Office 2003 Product Key List
- Browse to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice<version>Registration
- Now is a good point to make a backup of that key;
Right click on the key, choose Export… and save the file to for instance your Desktop. - Expand the Registration key in the Registry and you’ll see one or more sub keys which contain a lot of characters between curly brackets: { and }
Each sub key stands for an installed Office application.
The proper name for this identifier string is called a “GUID”. - Click on the sub key to reveal its contents in the right pane.
TheSuitName
key will reveal the name of the package that you have installed. If you have multiple GUID sub keys listed, you can use this key name to determine for which installation you’ll be changing the Product Key. - In the pane on the right, delete the following keys:
DigitalProductID
ProductID
- Close the Registry and start Outlook (or any other Office application); you’ll now be prompted to fill in your Product Key and activate Office again.
Delete the DigitalProductID and ProductID key to reset your Product Key.
Determine the Product Key with a 3rd party tool
Determining the used Product Key when using Office 2007 or previous isn’t directly supported by Microsoft. However, you can use a little program called Magic Jelly Bean Keyfinder to find out your used Product Key. Simply install and run the application to find out the Product Key (note: during the installation, there will be a prompt to also install a sponsored application which you can choose not to install).

Another free application which you can use is Belarc Advisor. This application does a bit more thorough scan of your computer for which it generates a report that also includes license keys for several of your installed applications. If you are in a large corporate network, you might want to disconnect your network connection as it will also try to build a network map which may cause the application to appear to hang at the “checking the local network of this computer” stage.
