HP ProBook 440 G6
Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I've got Windows 10 preinstalled in my HP PROBOOK. The Microsoft Office 2013 professional Pro is asking to change product key in order to be activated.

How do I generate product key?

Hi

I dont know.

 

Belarc Advisor may show licence keys etc  and/or  


ShowKeyPlus from the Microsoft Store (probably the best choice).
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/showkeyplus/9pkvzcprx9nv?activetab=pivot:overviewtab

The output is like this....
ShowKeyPlus - Windows Product Key Information

Product Name: Windows 10 Home
Version: 12345.678 (64-bit OS)
Product ID: 00000-00000-00000-AAOEM
Installed Key: 12345-67890-09876-54321
OEM Key: MICRO-SOFTY-WINDO-WSTEN-64BIT
OEM Edition: Win 10 RTM Core OEM:DM


ALSO
KeyFinderInstaller may help.…
It gives this…. – CD Key: 12345-67890-09876-54321

ELSE
There is a possibility of finding the same value in the Registry....
USING RegEdit the key is listed below and it’s content also shown.
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform

BackupProductKeyDefault 12345-67890-09876-54321

Three different names for the same value in 3 different software methods.

@AVIRAI 

You mean the Windows product key? Or the MS Office 2013 product key?

 

If the former, do NOT change it -- because if you do, WIndows will become deactivated.

 

If the latter, we can't help with that.

 

I've never heard of MS Office demanding a change to the Windows product key -- so you would need to contact Microsoft to find out why this is happening.
