For managing the Lync or Skype for Business clients, the following table lists the tool version and the correct product ID.

On a new Surface tablet, I removed the retail products and installed ProPlus from Volume Licensing. However, each Office application prompted for activation. When a product key was entered, the Office application would still report it was not activated.

The step-by-step explains how to use OSPP.VBS to resolve this issue.

8 Steps total

Step 1: Quit all open Office applications.

Step 2: Open an elevated command prompt.

Step 3: Navigate to your installed Office subdirectory

In my Office 2016 case, that path was:

C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice16

Step 4: At the prompt, enter: cscript.exe ospp.vbs /dstatus

Example output:

---Processing--------------------------

---Exiting-----------------------------

In my case, I needed to remove the Office 16, Office16O365HomePremR_Grace edition item.

Step 5: Note the last five characters of the product key you want to remove.

Office 365 2016 Product Key Free

In my case, the Office 16, Office16O365HomePremR_Grace edition characters were:

Last 5 characters of installed product key: KHGM9

Step 6: Enter: cscript.exe ospp.vbs /unpkey:[LASTFIVECHARACTERSOFKEYTOREMOVE]

In my case:

cscript.exe ospp.vbs /unpkey:KHGM9

Output is as follows:

---Processing--------------------------
---------------------------------------
Uninstalling product key for: Office 16, Office16O365HomePremR_Grace edition

---------------------------------------
---Exiting-----------------------------

Step 7: Rerun cscript.exe ospp.vbs /dstatus

This is to confirm that the product key is removed. My output:

---Processing--------------------------
---------------------------------------
PRODUCT ID: 00339-23044-55497-AA566
SKU ID: c47456e3-265d-47b6-8ca0-c30abbd0ca36

LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 16, RETAIL(MAK) channel
LICENSE STATUS: ---LICENSED---
Last 5 characters of installed product key: WFHBB
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
---Exiting-----------------------------

Note we no longer see the Office 16, Office16O365HomePremR_Grace edition item.

Step 8: Launch any Office product to confirm it does not prompt for activation

This flummoxed me for two days. However, calling the Volume Licence Support line led to this quick fix.

  It's a known bug relating to the Microsoft Office Desktop Applications. Uninstall those and then go delete these two keys in the registry:

  HKLMSOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftOffice16.0CommonOEM
  HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice16.0CommonOEM

  Close all MS-Office applications and restart them. You don't need to reboot the PC.

  Thanks a bunch, @Mike400. I appreciate your help. I'm going to try that now on yet another computer with an Office problem.

  Hi mwhalenhtc, i worked on this problem over two weeks. I already removed the two OEM registry keys but still getting the activation popup.

  The ospp.vbs works, Thanks :)
