    Using product key on the wrong account


    Hi,

    My company just bought me a 1 year subscription of an Office 365 license and I ended up using it for the wrong account. Is there a way to transfer it to the right account or unredeem it. While trying to set it up, I created an account as I was confused as to go about it and now it seems I am an admin with a different Microsoft account from the company one I am supposed to use the product key for.


    I hope you understand me.

    :)

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Where is my Product Key if I want to re-install?


    Like davidhk said. But if you really want to see your windows key, I would suggest Belarc advisor. It will give you some useful information about your system, product keys of your software is among them (not only Microsoft, you will have listed most of your keys).

    Hi Megan,

    A product key is used when activating a software.
    To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps that can resolve your concern, we'd like to ask the following questions:

    • What product are you trying to activate?

      link.
    • Are you looking for the product key to activate your Windows?

    We look forward to your response.
