Office Key Remover

[ajc196]

I ran across this today, and it's actually pretty useful. It's a small, portable tool that removes the product key for Office XP/2003/2007/2010 with the click of a button. This way, you can put in a new or different key for whatever reason.

Just FYI this can be done manually very easily as detailed here

Yep, that's the way I used to do it with regedit. But if the long, eye-straining, infuriating regedit method works, go for it.

PS - Verified working tool, tried in my own virtual machines with Office 2010 Pro, 2007 H&S, and Office XP Standard.

Thanks for this. I have done it through the registry before, any tool that can do it beats that

If %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
echo "This is 32bit system"
		reg query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Registration > nul 2>&1
	if not ErrorLevel 1 (
		echo "Deleting Office XP Registration Key"
  		REG DELETE HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Registration /f
	) 

		reg query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Registration > nul 2>&1
