Change Product Key Office 2013 Home and Business

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).

Reija, I feel your pain... 

Here is how to actually fix the issue, if you haven't already...

Open up a Command Prompt (Start>CMD>Enter)

Type in:

If you 64bit Office with 64bit Operating System:

cd "\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 15"

Then

cscript ocpp.vbs /dstatus

Then

Look at the Last 5 characters of the installed product key:

Then

cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:(the last 5 characters of the product key above)

Here's how to do it on a 32bit Office:

cd "\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office 15"

Then

cscript ocpp.vbs /dstatus

Then

Look at the Last 5 characters of the installed product key:

Then

cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:(the last 5 characters of the product key above)

Open up outlook, you should get a prompt to login to your Microsoft account.  Login and select the key that you are actually wanting to use.

This is an old thread but anyway, this is what I get when trying that command. What is a "product SKU" ?

We also need to change our product key. In our situation, we have 5 computers.

We bought a separate LEGAL license for each computer.

We installed using the process for the first four computers and ran into no problems.

When we got to the fifth, this particular install must have been placed somewhere different in the list because we get an activation error.

There is literally no way to label the five different downloads in our account so that we can tell which download goes with which key, so I will either have to try all five in the list again until I find the one that matches this key, or the easier way is to just..

Please tell us how we change the product key on the computer.
