Location Of Office 2016 Serial Key In Registry

Posted on by

Most software programs require a product key as part of the installation process, including all recent versions of Microsoft Office. If you've lost your Microsoft Office product key, you'll need to find it before you can reinstall the software suite.

How to find your Office Product Key after installation on computer. Here in this article will show you how to find out your Office product key from your computer after installation. Before doing a clean install of Windows, or upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7/8/8.1, it is a good idea to find out and save your office product key to a safe location. I need the registry key product information for Microsoft Office 2016. For office 2016 there is no registry key 'Registration' under 16.0. Scenario - I have Office 2013 and upgraded to office 2016 with new license key. But When I scan it is says Office 2013 product not the Office 2016. Microsoft Office 2016 Pro Product Key. Microsoft Office 2016 product key is the best effective and beneficial tool which will provide you also work with office 2016. It helps the professionals to make presentations, powerpoint, Outlook, OneNote, creates excel, sheets. Microsoft office 2016 product key is a computer application that creates a product licensing keys, such as product number or serial number, necessary to operate. Mar 05, 2017  I need the registry key product information for Microsoft Office 2016. For office 2016 there is no registry key 'Registration' under 16.0. Scenario - I have Office 2013 and upgraded to office 2016 with new license key. But When I scan it is says Office 2013 product not the Office 2016.

Microsoft Office product keys are encrypted inside the Windows Registry, so searching for them manually is nearly impossible. You'll find a string of numbers once you locate the correct registry key, but what you'll find is encrypted text, not a working Office product key you can enter.

Fortunately, programs called key finders do the finding and decrypting for you, giving you your valid, paid-for Office product key — that missing puzzle piece so you can successfully reinstall the program.

If you don't find your key while using one of the methods outlined below, the only legal option you have left is to buy a brand new copy of MS Office. As often as you may come across free product keys for Office, or key generator programs, neither are good ways to go about this.

Microsoft Office 2019 & 2016 & 2013

The Microsoft Office 2019, 2016, and 2013 product key situation is unique compared to older versions of Office (below).

Unfortunately for us, only the last five characters of the 25-character Office 2019, Office 2016, or Office 2013 product key is stored on your computer, making a product key finder pretty much useless in this case.

I know, right away I'm going back on some of the stuff I said above! For whatever reason, Microsoft completely changed how they handled product keys with these newer versions of MS Office

Of course, this unfortunate fact doesn't change the reality that you still need that product key to reinstall either version.

If you have an installed version of Microsoft Office 2019, 2016, or 2013 via your Office 365 subscription, you don't need to worry about product keys. Just sign in to your account and download and install the latest version of Office to your computer.

It's not all bad news that key finder programs are no longer helpful with these versions of Office. In fact, the new way that Microsoft is handling Office keys might not be such a bad thing after all.

Microsoft Office 2010 & 2007

Like all versions of Office, Microsoft Office 2010 and Microsoft Office 2007 both require a unique product key during the installation process.

If you're sure that you no longer have the physical product key for your version of Microsoft Office, or you've lost or deleted the email receipt that included the product key in it, you might, as you read in the introduction above, be able to extract the key from the registry using a key finder tool.

LicenseCrawler, the key finder program we recommend for Office 2010 & 2007 product keys in that tutorial, will find your product key in just seconds.

Older Versions of Microsoft Office

Older versions of Microsoft Office, like Office 2003 (2003), Office XP (2001), Office 2000 (1999), and Office 97 (1996) all also require product keys during installation.

Considering how old some of these versions of Microsoft Office are, it'd be surprising if anyone still has the product key around.

The Office 2010/2007 tutorial above could be used for any of these versions of Office as well, but we've found that Keyfinder Thing, the key finder tool we recommend in this tutorial, does a better job with these older suites.

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

We tried reproducing this issue on Windows 10, and we were able to provide permission to new and existing registry keys under HKLMSoftwareWow6432Node without an issue.

To resolve this issue we need more information. Let us know the following:

  1. Following the appearance of the error, do you get an option to click on Ok? If yes, what happens when you click on Ok?

  2. Also, are you connected to a Network/Domain? Is this issue appearing only on computers which are connected to a Network or Domain or even on standalone computers?

Check the above and let us know.

Thank you.

Mohan,

We still have not received a response from your or anyone else from Microsoft regarding this issue after installing Office 2016. It is holding us up from shipping our software. Could someone look into this further and contact us with a recommended fix.

Thanks!

We never heard back from Microsoft on this. The last we heard from them was that a bug was submitted but we never heard back as to whether or not that bug was fixed. A few months ago, I tried applying the most recent office updates to see if any recent updates would fix the issue but they did not. Unfortunately, we had to build something into our product install that forced our users to go manually fix their corrupted registry before our product could install on their system.

Hi,

I have same issue.

In the ACL list from some Wow6432Node sub-keys I can see the S-1-15-3-1024-1065365936-1281604716-3511738428-1654721687-432734479-3232135806-4053264122-3456934681 crap user account with inherited READ privileges.

I assume all Sub keys created after Office installation are impacted by the bug. The Wow6432NodeClasses is not impacted for instance.On the Wow6432Node i have this crap account present as well with inherited READ privileges. but on the root key (HKLMSoftware) the crap account is not present.

Looks like O365 installation corrupts registry keys.

I tested on Windows 7 (64bits). On 7 it works fine.

Thanks for the documentation of the issue it helped me pointing out the responsible product.

Any news from MS?

Hi Laurent,

Yes, you are correct. After an Office install, all sub keys are corrupted in Wow6432Node. It has been over a year since I have heard from Microsoft on this issue. They submitted a bug on 11/19/2015. I requested updates from them so I would know when it was fixed. They have never gotten back to me. Maybe if more people complain, they will fix it. You could try and reach out to them to see if they will give you an update. If you receive one, I would love to hear what their response is. It is preventing our company from being able to support Office 2016 for our customers.

Hi Jen,

Many thanks for your feedback. Do you have the case number?

We currently working on the roll-out of Windows 10.0.14393 and O365 on some thousands clients this year so I expect at least an 'official' Workaround from the support.

Hi all,

As Workaround you can edit the ACLs from WOW6432Node by:

- adding READ privileges to the EVERYONE principal

- applying

- deleting the EVERYONE principal

- applying again

See Pictures below.

After that, the crappy user disapears from the node. It still remains on some Sub nodes but you it can be removed after that.

It is Case# 115100913249143. I also asked them for a link to the bug that was opened. They sent me this link: http://bugcheck/bugs/offbug/177350.asp. This is an internal link though so it really doesn't provide much value.

We also had to document a workaround for our customers. Requiring them to manually edit their registry to fix the corruption is not acceptable though so I am hoping this gets fixed someday.
