How to find product key for Microsoft Office already installed
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!
I followed this tutorial: (worked with my office 2016)https://www.uumeo.com/find-office-product-key
If you’re using a version of Office that’s part of a volume license agreement (such as from your organization), you might be able to retrieve the Office product key by checking the registry or using the Get-WmiObject command in PowerShell:
(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey
Follow these instructions exactly and it will work no matter when, where, how or why you installed MS Office on your machine. After a couple of BS "free" key finder wastes of time I tried this and it worked just fine. Gave me a key I purchased from timbucktu. Thanks Hammadanspo
