If you can only find out the last 5 digits, but you have hundreds of copies, you have to search through EACH and EVERY one of them, looking at the last 5 digits until you find the right copy. I'm saying that that's not a very good method in my personal opinion. If it’s retail version, we can only see the last five digits of the product key. nothing.Īccording to your description, I suppose that are they retail versions of Office? Is it right? Anything would be better than what we currently have. All I want is that with the next version of Office, they include a way to find the product key, the whole thing, whether it be through command line or some program. The problem is not that there isn't a way to get the product key, it's that when I can get it, it takes a ridiculous amount of searching and sifting through junk to find it. When installed on hundreds of computers, I still have to search through all of our product keys to find which one corresponds with those last 5 digits. it only returns the last 5 digits of the key. I will let you know that I had already heard of that method to find it, but as you said.

Thanks for listening to my rant and have a good day. Don't get me wrong, I love Microsoft and I think they are one of the best companies around when it comes to OS/software, but this one flaw is really annoying when you're in my situation. You encrypted it, write something to decrypt it and then I will have no complaints. Simply put, all I ask is that Microsoft find some way to get the installed product key off of 2013. If every single time I have to reset a computer I have to search through our hundreds of product keys to find the one with the proper service tag, that's ridiculous and there has to be a better way of doing it. I understand Microsoft is just trying to be secure with their product keys, but it is honestly a bit ridiculous. This presents a problem as we have hundreds of machines, all with their own personal copy of Office but when we want to trickle it down and have to do a factory reset there is no way to find the product key that was used to install that copy.
