Sometimes based on a situation you may need to check or change a Product Key when it comes to Licensing. In my case I had a user that had an install from elsewhere and come to find out it was on trial. The big red bar was now across the top of his applications. He told me it was activated before but I had to see for myself. Good thing I did.. using the following method. I also included how to change a Product Key if needed.

5 Steps total

Step 1: Open a Command Prompt

Open an administrative level command prompt. To do this, click on the Start Menu, type CMD in the Start Menu search box, right-click on the Command Prompt entry and select 'Run as administrator'.

Step 2: Navigate to MS Office folder

After opening the elevated command prompt, navigate to the Office14 folder:

Fellowship prayer examples. * 32-bit Office on 64-bit OS
Use the command: “cd Program Files(x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice14“
* 32-bit Office
on 32-bit OS and 64-bit Office [or] on 64-bit OS
Use the command: “cd Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice14“

Step 3: Now run your Query with this command

Execute the following command:
“cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus“

Step 4: Review your findings

After the successful execution of the command, look at
a. “LICENSE NAME” for license type
b. “LICENSE STATUS” for activation status

Step 5: IF you need to add a valid Product Key...

Open one of the office programs like WORD, click on the FILE tab and then 'HELP'.. you should see [Change Product Key].

I hope that this helps you if you are looking for these answers.

  I use the Volume Activation Management Tool to achieve this.

  Essentially, I scan my network and them update the keys as necessary. I'm not sure how it will handle trial versions as we don't allow users to install software and I haven't run into that situation.
