    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)

    Comfirmed to work!

    CMD with admin rights though...

    cd "\Program Files (x86)"

    cd "Microsoft Office"

    cd Office15

    cscript OSPP.VBS /dstatus

    (see key)

    cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:(see key)

    Next start of winword is asks for the account.

    If Microsoft would only stop their "creative harrasment" of paying customers... AND show which key I am choosing from the @outlook.com account.

    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.

    Will this work for Visio 2013 and Project 2013 as well?
