Change Product Key Office 2013 Home and Business

When I run this I get "product SKU not found error".

Please help.

I have the same issue with trying to activate Microsoft Office 2013.  I have three keys and am not sure what the key on this particular machine is.

When I run script to find last 5 digits they don't match any of the keys I have.

When I run the script you suggest to change the key....I get the product Sku not found error!

 

I am at my wits end.

The first thing to point out is that the "product keys" you have recorded (and are trying to match up) are not product keys at all, they are "pin numbers".

When you thought you were typing a "product key" into https://officesetup.getmicrosoftkey.com/ , you were actually typing a "pin number" which gets converted into a product key at the installation stage. This is very confusing, because the "key cards" I was sent in the retail package clearly say "product key" on them. There is no relationship between the "pin numbers" and the "product keys" within the portal.

It IS possible to view the (actual) product keys within the portal, but there is a trick to doing this. I have made some notes in my blog as to how you can do this: http://practicalsbs.wordpress.com/2014/04/29/tracking-multiple-product-keys-within-the-office-2013-portal/

If you comparte THOSE product keys to the ones you have obtained from the workstation using the "ospp.vbs" script (shown in an earlier post), you should be able to match them up.

Hope that helps.

Hi CE-EE,

Thanks for what seems to be the most helpful information provided on this post to help solve this ridiculous problem. 

When I run the cscript command and I enter the product code I want to change to I get an error message (0xc004f069) saying that the product SKU cannot be found. If I run it using the product code I used to install (the incorrect product code) it seems to run fine, but that does nothing for me as I want to change the code to a new one. Perhaps I am missing something?

Thanks for providing help on this forum when it seems more people are asking questions than giving answers and some are in denial that perhaps Microsoft doesn't even know its own program. I definitely do NOT get an option to change the product key in the Programs and Features menu of uninstall.

Thanks. Worked. (Run the command prompt as administrator).

Here is an easy solution.

1.Open the setup of MS Office 2013

2. There will be an option of 'enter product key', click on it
3. Enter the new product key
4. Enjoy!
