How To Get My Office 2013 Serial Key

Active3 years, 9 months ago

Unfortunately, Microsoft changed how they handled Microsoft Office product keys beginning with Office 2013, storing only part of the product key on your local computer. This means that those product key finder programs aren't quite as helpful as they used to be. After Office 2007 and Office 2010, Microsoft revealed MS Office new version, “Microsoft Office 2013”. Today, I am sharing the free serial keys/ free Product keys of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013.

ISunshare Product Key Finder is one of the best product key finder software that can help users to recover Office 2013 product key in one simple click. It can apply on any computer even if the computer is with crashed computer. If your purchase of Office came with a product key, you enter your product key on one of the websites listed below for your version of Office. After you enter your key, you can download and install Office, or you can renew your Office 365 subscription.

I installed Office 2013 and put in the product key when it asked me to. After typing in the product key, it allowed me to use MS Word once. After I closed MS Word and went to reopen it the next day, it said the product key I entered was incorrect (maybe I typed it in incorrectly). It asked me to change it. I tried opening MS word and clicking File -> Account but was unable to change the product key from there.

Resolves product key errors that you get while installing Office 2010, Office 2013 suites, Office 365 or standalone programs of these Office versions on your PC. Who is it for? Users of Office 2010, Office 2013 suites and Office 365 who run into product key issues. I have contacted the Microsoft Answer Desk, and I found out there is no way to view the product key online. However, for Office 2013 that you bought with a subscription, you can view it in the Microsoft Store account under the Product Key section. Source Find your product key for Office 2013 and Office 365 Home Premium.

I then went to control panel -> uninstall a program and then clicked on Office 2013 and clicked 'change' but it gave me no option to change the product key. So I decided to uninstall and reinstall it.

I uninstalled it and then went to reinstall it with the setup file and now it is giving me an error saying:

The first product key I entered seems to be saved somewhere. How do I delete / change it?

Depending on the combination of Office 2013 and Window version you might have to change the path to Program Files(x86)

Here is the sequence that should work for (x64 Windows -> x64 Office) and (x86 Windows -> x86 Office):

  1. Open cmd prompt

  2. Run the following commands:

cscript 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice15ospp.vbs' /dstatus

Note down the partial product key(s) (there can be multiple)

cscript 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice15ospp.vbs' /unpkey:partial_key

This will uninstall an installed product key with partial product key you noted earlier. Uninstall all of the keys.

Now you should be able to add it from Control Panel the usual way. Or you can use:

cscript 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice15ospp.vbs' /inpkey:new_full_key

Then you need to activate it.

cscript 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice15ospp.vbs' /act

Just for update: Still works in Office 2016, you just need to change 'Office15' to 'Office16'.

Just run the setup for Office 2013 again and choose the option 'Enter a Product Key' in the first screen.
