Finding Office 2016 Product Key in Registry

As a Lansweeper user, I often find myself searching for innovative ways to streamline my software inventory management. Recently, I stumbled upon an interesting discussion about retrieving Office 2016 product keys from the registry. While Microsoft does not store the entire product key in the registry, it's fascinating to learn that they do keep a crucial part of it - the last 5 digits.

According to online resources, including a cscript script discussed here, one can retrieve these final digits using this method. However, upon further investigation, I was disappointed to find that even with the latest version of Lansweeper, there seems to be no direct way to gather the entire product key.

Despite my efforts to scour online tutorials and newbie guides, I couldn't find a solution that works for retrieving Office 2016 product keys using Lansweeper. Nevertheless, it's encouraging to know that the tool is capable of detecting OEM/retail MS Office Home & Business 2016 installations with ease.

It would indeed be an exciting feature if Lansweeper could incorporate this functionality in the future, allowing users like myself to effortlessly retrieve complete product keys for our Office 2016 installations. Until then, I'll continue to explore alternative methods and share my findings with the community.
