Change Product Key Office 2013 Home and Business

the 64 bit systems do not have a ospp.vbs file

the path for the office in the 64 bit folder is different as well

"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office15\

a number of files are in the subfolders of this directory which begin with OSPP

what is the correct ospp file to edit for the key change?

I love you Microsoft guys.  You don't even know your own products.  Look, I have 4 licenses with my account.  3 have been installed, 1 has not.  There is no way for me to tell which is which when I am attempting to install the lates license I purchased.  I had to guess (1 in 4 chance of being correct).  You guys need to fix this or at least give us an option to update the product key after guessing incorrectly.

 

Have you even tried your own product or do you use Linux with Libre Office?  Seriously, if I wanted to get ran in circles without an answer I would have asked a politician.

 

Every time I buy the same type of license.  Office 2013 Home & Business, no media. 

 

I guess since Microsoft has gone off the deep edge, I'll just have to uninstall the product, and try guessing again until I find the correction 1 of the 4 that has not been installed.

 

Thank you for raising my blood pressure and confirming with me that when Android hits the market on computers and not just phones and tablets, I'll leave Microsoft in the dust.

I'm facing the exact problem Gene1968 described here... I have about a dozen of Office 2013 licenses which all registered under 1 single Microsoft account... It's a challenge trying to guess which install option matches to which product key and the more licenses registered, the worst it is... Microsoft needs to take notice of this issue and either provide the end users an easy way to change the product key after installation or provide enough information on the Office setup web site so that the user can tell which install button to use...

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).

How yourkeygoeshere should be typed in exactly using a product key? That is, does the actual product key need enclosed in double quotes? Does the hyphens need to be in too? An actual example would be nice....
