How to find product key for Microsoft Office already installed
Hi, I have an urgent issue to be fixed and really need help from community. I have Office installed and activated with a product key on my Windows 10 PC. Yesterday, I reinstalled Windows 10 as it...
AwenamI had the same issue after reinstalling Windows and couldn't find my Office key. I used Dr. Key to recover it easily, and it worked like a charm – highly recommend it!

Using the Command Prompt (CMD) to find Microsoft Office product key? This method only works for certain versions of Office, like older ones or those that came pre-installed on your PC (OEM versions). If you’ve got a newer version or an individual retail key, you're outta luck. Trust me, it’s frustrating trying to retrieve a key that just isn’t stored in your system. Sometimes, the product key isn’t even stored in the BIOS or isn’t retrievable through CMD. If you bought Office directly from Microsoft, your key might not be in the deeper settings of your machine. So, you might end up doing a lot of typing and get nada!
I agree.....
I have the MS Office Pro. 2010 showing as installed on my Dell PC order. I called Dell to see if they could tell me how to find the software Key. Dell referred me back to MS.
I tried the cmd prompt command line (get OA3xOriginalProductKey) but it doesn't produce any output response.... only a blank line.
