    It can be done via the command line.  Open up a Command Prompt (Press the Windows Button and type CMD or navigate to All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt).  Then you just need to use the command below that matches your OS.

    For 32 bit Windows:

    cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /inpkey:yourkeygoeshere 

    For 64 bit Windows (assuming you are using 32 bit Office):

    cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /inpkey:yourkeygoeshere

    Obviously, you need to replace yourkeygoeshere with your product key.

    Note:  If you are installing a 64 bit version of Office on 64 bit Windows, the command for 32 bit Windows should be used (or just delete the (x86) part since it won't be installing to the C:\Program Files (x86)\ directory).

    This worked perfectly - I entered the wrong key on my computer (it was for another system) and was getting the "key has already been activated the maximum number of times" -

    Once I realized this I could not figure out how to enter the correct key - after running the cscript command I'm in business!
