    • We have got about 50 licenses of Office 2013 home&business under the same Microsoft-account.
    • The product-keys, that are displayed at office.com/Setup "Install from a disk - view your product key" are different to the product-keys on the product-key-cards
    • I installed any of the 50 Office-licenses from office.com/Setup and tryed to change the product-key
    • There is no option to change the product-key of Office 2013 home&business in the control-panel "program and features" or in Word/Excel "file - account"
    • The commandline-Program "cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:9NJHW-...."

    displays the following error:

    Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host, Version 5.8

    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. Alle Rechte vorbehalten.

    ---Processing--------------------------

    ---------------------------------------

    ERROR CODE: 0xC004F069

    ERROR DESCRIPTION: The Software Licensing Service reported that the product SKU

    is not found.

    ---------------------------------------

    ---Exiting-----------------------------

    So Microsoft - is there a way to install Office 2013 home&business with the correct product-key, if I needed to reinstall one of our computers?

    Hi Markus,

    Any time you transfer the software to a new computer, you must remove the software from the prior computer and you may not retain any copies.

    Thank you.

    Problem: Change Product Key Office 2013 Home and Business

    SOLUTION:

    Works when activation fails because of key reuse.  Tried with Office 2013 on windows 8.1 but will work for other versions.

       1. Uninstall office 2013

       2. Reboot

       3.  reinstall using new key attt www.office.com/setup
