Remove Office 2016 Product Key
  1. Open a command prompt as Administrator
  2. In the command prompt, type the following:
  • Office 2016 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows

    cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus

  • Office 2016 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows

    cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus

  • Office 2016 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows

    cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus

  1. You should now get a screen with some license details such as the license name, type and the last 5 characters of the Product Key.

  2. You can use the last 5 characters of the Product Key to remove it using command:

  • Office 2016 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows

    cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /unpkey:<LAST 5 CHARACTERS>

  • Office 2016 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows

    cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /unpkey:<LAST 5 CHARACTERS>

  • Office 2016 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows

    cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /unpkey:<LAST 5 CHARACTERS>

  1. Enjoy!

Sorry, didn't work. Seemed like it would, commands processed, Office re-configured itself, requested system reboot, - and Activation pop-up is back again. Oh yeah, and there is no OEM subfolder in registry either.

No luck. Pop-up after clicking on Data.exe: Windows could not complete the extraction. Destination file could not be created. Error 0x80004005: Unspecified error.
