Windows 10: How can I find my Office 2016 license in my Microsoft Account?

I first installed Office 2016 using the ISO. Then I signed in to it. Obviously since I haven't bought it digitally, it said it couldn't find the license. Then I entered the Product Key (bought from Amazon) and activated it over the internet. Do I always need to enter the Product Key in Office 2016 whenever I do a clean install of Windows 10? Doesn't it get attached to Microsoft Account like that of Windows 10 license? Currently if I go to Services and Subscription in my account, there's the expired version of Office 365 Home but no mention of Office 2016.

You might have a KMS activated Office 2016 license installed. These normally require connecting to a Windows Server at your work place in order to reactivate. Another option might be signing in with your organization account and activate.

Which edition of Microsoft Office 2016 is it? You can find out by opening a Office 2016 application, click File > Account

As suggested, its probably best you contact your organizations System or Network Administrator; or Desktop Support for assistance.

 

Office 2016 programs are not grouped under Microsoft Office 2016

Hi,

To address your concern, you can compress the view of your Microsoft Office programs inside a single folder in the Start Menu. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
• Right-click on a blank space, click New > Folder.
• Rename the New Folder as Microsoft Office 2016 (or any name that you want).
• Highlight all the Microsoft Office 2016 programs.
• On your keyboard, press Ctrl + X (make sure that all programs are highlighted).
• Double-click Microsoft Office 2016 folder (the folder that you've created).
• On your keyboard, press Ctrl + V.
• Wait until all the programs are moved to the new folder.
• Check the Start Menu if the settings are saved.

Microsoft Office 2016 installation, MSDN?

Please save the Office Software Protection Platform script to a text file with following command, enter the command exactly as shown here:

cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus >%userprofile%\Desktop\Office.txt

It saves license status on your desktop as Office.txt file.

Run the command in an elevated Command Prompt from inside Office 2016 installation folder:

• Office 2016 32 bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16
• Office 2016 64 bit: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16

Upload the TXT file here as an attachment, I will check it. There's some information missing from extract you posted, I would need to see the full report before saying anything for sure. Notice that the report does not contain any personal information, it is safe to post it.
