Check Microsoft Office 2016 Product key

There are a method to check the Microsoft office 2016 product key, but the most easiest 1 is to run the script.

You can check your Microsoft Office 2016 product key using a simple VBScript. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Open Notepad

  1. Press Win + R, type notepad, and press Enter.
  2. Copy and paste the following script into Notepad:


    
Dim objFSO, objShell, objKey
Dim strKeyPath, strKey
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

' Registry path for Office 2016
strKeyPath = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Registration\"

On Error Resume Next
strKey = objShell.RegRead(strKeyPath & "DigitalProductID")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    WScript.Echo "Could not retrieve the Office 2016 product key."
    Err.Clear
Else
    WScript.Echo "Microsoft Office 2016 Product Key: " & ConvertToKey(strKey)
End If

Function ConvertToKey(Key)
    Dim KeyChars, i, CurrentKeyPart, OutputKey, KeyOffset
    KeyChars = "BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789"
    OutputKey = ""
    KeyOffset = 52
    For i = 24 To 0 Step -1
        CurrentKeyPart = 0
        For j = 14 To 0 Step -1
            CurrentKeyPart = CurrentKeyPart * 256 + Asc(Mid(Key, j + 1, 1))
            Mid(Key, j + 1, 1) = Chr(Int(CurrentKeyPart / 24))
            CurrentKeyPart = CurrentKeyPart Mod 24
        Next
        OutputKey = Mid(KeyChars, CurrentKeyPart + 1, 1) & OutputKey
        If (i Mod 5 = 0) And (i <> 0) Then OutputKey = "-" & OutputKey
    Next
    ConvertToKey = OutputKey
End Function



Step 2: Save the Script

  1. Click File > Save As.
  2. Change "Save as type" to All Files (*.*).
  3. Name the file Check_Office_Key.vbs (make sure the extension is .vbs).
  4. Save it on your Desktop or any preferred location.

Step 3: Run the Script

  1. Double-click the Check_Office_Key.vbs file.
  2. A window will pop up displaying your Microsoft Office 2016 product key.


Alternative: Check via Command Prompt

If you don’t want to use a script, you can check your Office product key using CMD:

  1. Press Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter.

  2. Run the following command:

        wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey


If your product key is stored in the BIOS, this will retrieve it.


Important Notes:
=)


  • If Office was installed via Microsoft 365, this method won’t work.
    • 

  • If your Office key was activated via Microsoft Account, it is stored online instead of locally

    Reading and Writing Operation of SRAM

    Image
    The diagram below is illustrate Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)Cell for the explanation. SRAM cell is make up of 2 inverters are cross-connected to form a latch .The latch is connected to 2 bit line by transistor T1 and T2 . T1 and T2 can switch opened or closed under control of word line.When word line is ground level, the transistors are turned off and the latch retrains its state. During the Read Operation ,Word line is activated to close switches T1 and T2 . If the cell is in state 1; the signal on b line is high and the signal on b’ line is low.The opposite is true if the cell is in state 0.Thus, b and b’ are always complements of each other’s. The sense /write circuit at the end of the two bit line monitors their state and sets the corresponding output accordingly. While in Write Operation ,the Sense/Write circuit drives bit lines b and b’, instead of sensing their state.It places the appropriate value on bit line b and its complement on b’ and activate the word ...

    Reading & Writing Operation of DRAM

    Image
    In Dynamic Random Access Memory CELL , transistor acts as a switch to Close (allowing current to flow) when voltage applied in address line or Open (no current flow) when no voltage applied in address line.Address Line also known as word line .Which use to signal the transistor to close or open. During the Write operation ,a voltage is applied on the bit line and a signal applied to the address line to close the transistor.Then the voltage applied on the bit line will transfer to capacitor and store in the capacitor However the capacitor has tendency to discharge and has to refresh to maintain the bit. While in Reading Operation ,the instruction find the bit store using the address line to read the data or bit. When the address line is selected ,the transistor turns on and the charge stored on the capacitor is fled out onto a bit line and to sense amplifier. Sense amplifiers compare the capacitor voltage to reference value to determine the logic 1 or logic 0.The read out from ...

    Method to Convert from Stream to Json C#

    Recently I was using the C# HttpClient to make REST request but I found that is was quite troublesome so I have changed to using HttpWebRequest instead. So want the HttpWebRequest result is return it was in Stream form. I not able to convert it into Json. this is the method i convert the stream to JSON. HttpWebResponse response = ( HttpWebResponse ) requirejs . GetResponse (); Stream stream = response . GetResponseStream (); StreamReader sr = new StreamReader ( stream ); var serializer = new System . Web . Script . Serialization . JavaScriptSerializer (); var jsonObject = serializer . DeserializeObject ( sr . ReadToEnd ()); As you can see that jsonObject is an object. Now you can parse it into the Json(JsonObject); If you have any question can leave a comment below.
