Need to find your Office product key?

If you need to reinstall Office on a new computer or after a crash, you might lose your Microsoft Office product key. Unlike with Windows, where you can extract the product key from the Windows Registry, finding an Office product key isn't as straightforward.

Unfortunately, starting with Office 2013, Microsoft changed the way it handles the product keys for its Office products, storing only a part of it on the local PC. So, how can you find your MS Office product key? Here are four effective ways to find your Microsoft Office product key.

1. Find Office Product Key with Tool Key Finder
2. Retrieve Office Product Key with ProduKey
3. Find Microsoft Office Product Key via CMD Command
4. Obtain Product Key through Microsoft Account

Tip 1: How to Find Office Product Key Using a Tool - Key Finder

Applies to: Office 2003, Office 2007, Office 2010, Office 2013 (MSI), Office 2016 (MSI), Office 365 product key

Regardless of which version you have, the Key Finder tool can display your full Office product key. It's a lot quicker than trying to find the product key the regular way, either in the Microsoft Store or an email.

Furthermore, the software boasts many features such as app migration, file and account transfer. Particularly, with its Product Key Finder function, it will retrieve Office, Windows, and Adobe keys to prevent losing them.

Follow these detailed steps to find your Microsoft Office product key:

Step 1: Click the "Applications" tab under "Registry Keys."

Step 2. The right pane will display all the keys of the installed software. Copy the target serial number you want. You also can click "Print" or "Save".

Tip 2: Find your Microsoft Office product key with ProduKey

Applies to: Office 2003, Office 2007, Office 2010, and Office 2013

ProduKey is another easy-to-use key finder tool that only works with Office 2013 and earlier. It displays the product keys for Windows 10, Microsoft Office, and other Microsoft programs. Unlike the KeyFinder tool, you can't use ProduKey to find product keys for non-Microsoft programs.

How to Find Your Microsoft Office Product Key Using ProduKey

First, download ProduKey.zip, and then extract its contents.

Double-click on produkey.exe to open it.

Step 3: You will then see the current keys for your Microsoft Office and Operating System.

Run ProduKey to find the product key for Microsoft Office:

Both are good to use, but when it comes to supported versions and data security, Key Finder is slightly better. Some malware can steal your product keys through ProduKey. Try it whenever you want to view your Office product key or back up your Office serial number from any disaster.

Tip 3: Find Office Product Key via CMD

Applies to: Office 2013, Office 2016, or Office 2019

This method only works if you have the last five characters of the 25-character product key for Office 2019, Office 2016, or Office 2013 saved on your computer. Try this method to find your Microsoft product key.

Step 1: Search for cmd and run it as an administrator.

Step 2: Type the following commands as needed.

• Office 2013 (32-bit edition) (Win32): cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus • Office 2013 (32-bit edition) (Win64): cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus • Office 2013 (64-bit edition) (Win64): cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
