Remove Office 2016 Product Key

Caution

Due to the subject of this Gist there are a lot of spam/scam comments. I try to remove them all as soon as possible. I don't recommend you to click on any link in the comments

How to remove Microsoft Office 2016 Product Key

  1. Open a command prompt as Administrator
  2. In the command prompt, type the following:
  • Office 2016 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows

    cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus

  • Office 2016 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows

    cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus

  • Office 2016 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows

    cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus

  1. You should now get a screen with some license details such as the license name, type and the last 5 characters of the Product Key.

  2. You can use the last 5 characters of the Product Key to remove it using command:

  • Office 2016 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows

    cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /unpkey:<LAST 5 CHARACTERS>

  • Office 2016 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows

    cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /unpkey:<LAST 5 CHARACTERS>

  • Office 2016 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows

    cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /unpkey:<LAST 5 CHARACTERS>
