    It would be nice if Microsoft would have were you can nickname the office install on there download site. I have 13 copies on my account and when one of the computers need reloaded it takes forever to figure out which link is with the product key that goes to the computer i'm trying to reload.

    To find the product key in a Microsoft account try this:

    1. Look at Account Options (under install)
    2. Choose Install from a disc
    3. Choose I want to burn a disc
    4. Click on View your product key button

    Doesn't help, none of the product keys listed are the one we bought.

    I just went through this.

    I found that (it appears anyway) that as long as the product has not yet been activated, if you do Change... for Microsoft Office 2013 in Control Panel > Programs and Features, and then do an Online Repair, an option is presented for changing the product key.  It was just a small link underneath a button that I think said "No thanks, just change the product key" or just "Change the product key," I can't remember for sure.

    Anyway, it worked.  It took quite a while for the install to finish (about 30-35 minutes I'd guess), but it is all working.  I then had to activate over the phone because this copy of software had been used on another computer accidentally and then was uninstalled, but other than that everything seems to be running perfect.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks. Worked for me. Just went into Control Panel --> Programs and Features --> Right click MSO 2013 --> Change --> Last option says "Change your product key" --> Entered new key --> Ready to use in 5 mins !

    Thanks again ! :)

    Edit: Had to activate once (did the Internet activation).
