How to Reset or Change Microsoft Office 2007 Product License Key or Volume License Key (VLK)
You may need to alter or change Microsoft Office 2007 (aka 2007 Microsoft Office System programs and suites) product license key or volume license key (VLK) which also known as serial number or CD key. You can modify or change product key for 2007 Microsoft Office programs or suites by first uninstall or remove Microsoft Office and then reinstalling the business productivity suite. However, you can follow the following steps in order to reset and change the Microsoft Office 2007 product serial key without the need to uninstall or reinstall 2007 Office system suites.
Note: The following steps involve modification of registry key values, which may corrupt your Windows if done incorrectly. Backup registry first before performing the workaround.
- Close all Microsoft Office programs.
- Click on Start button, then click on Run.
- Type “regedit” (without quotes) in the Run text box, and click OK or press Enter.
- Locate and then click the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration
Inside, you will find another subkey that resembles the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration\{30120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}
- Optional: Backup this registry branch by exporting the Registration subkey to a file, just in case the new product key does not work and you have to restore back the old product key. To export the registry, right click on the Registration subkey and click on Export, and follow the on-screen prompt to enter a file name for the registry file and choose a location to store it.
- Under the Registration subkey, there may be several Globally Unique Identifiers (GUID) subkey that contain a combination of alphanumeric characters. Each GUID is specific to a program that is installed on your computer.
If you find additional subkeys that reference Microsoft 12.0 registration, then click and open each GUID subkey to view and identify the Office product version by the ProductName registry entry in the right pane. For example:
ProductName=Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007
- After you find the GUID subkey that contains your Office product or program which you want to remove the existing product license key or registration details, delete the following registry entries by right clicking on the registry entry in the GUID subkey, click Delete, and then click Yes:
• DigitalProductID
• ProductID - Exit Registry Editor.
- Run or open an Office application program, such as Microsoft Word or Excel or Outlook. Office 2007 will prompt you to enter a new 25-character product key.
- Type in the valid and genuine product key, and then click OK.
- Then when prompted to choose your preferred type of Microsoft Office 2007 installation, press on “Install Now”.
- Microsoft Office 2007 will be updated with new product CD key or volume license key, and ready for activation (if it’s a non-VLK serial) or use.
Note: If you’re having problem with your new Office 2007 product key, simply double click on the backup registry .reg file created at the optional step above to restore the registry settings of the Registration subkey so that the original value can be imported back to the registry.
You may need to reset to change Office 2007 product key with the above steps if you don’t want to uninstall or reinstall Microsoft Office 2007 again in many scenarios, such as you have just bought a retail version of Office 2007, or receive Office 2007 as a gift, or win MS Office 2007 as a prize, or just get your MSN product key for Office 2007, or having problem with activation process online or via phone, or unable to step-up or convert evaluation copy of Office 2007 to full-use version, or having problem with Office Genuine Advantage (OG) validation.
On the other hand, if you manage to find a valid and genuine volume license key or VLK, you can change the product key of Microsoft Office 2007 with the VLK serial in order to bypass the Office 2007 activation process (as Office 2007 still using WPA 1.0 where corporate users need not to activate), without the need of crack or hack for Office 2007, for full use for unlimited period as long as you’re not caught by OGA.
The 2007 Microsoft Office System product key changing instruction and step-by-step guide tutorial is applicable to Microsoft Office Basic 2007 all editions and all individual programs or suites of Microsoft Office 2007 including Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, Microsoft Office Professional 2007, Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007, Microsoft Office Standard 2007, Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007, Microsoft Office Access 2007, Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007, Microsoft Office OneNote 2007, Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007, Microsoft Office Project Standard 2007, Microsoft Office Publisher 2007, Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007, Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2007, Microsoft Office Visio Standard 2007 and Microsoft Office Word 2007.

Your messages give me a headache elite
I think that tomtom’s method would work for everyone if they got rid of the ‘neverinstalled’ hack thing and uninstalled Office 2007 totally, then reinstalled a clean copy.
Been working fine for me for the past few weeks. Again, heaps of thanks to tomtom.
PS: I tried that Save to XPS/PDF addon and Microsoft lets me install it after checking that my Office was genuine. Hooray

Kay, try to activate following the method of post #253. If this doesn’t work, reinstall office 2007 standard with this serial DGYC9-426Y3-DYGH2-3WC68-4Y6KQ and then follow #253’s method.

tomtom, you are definitly awsome… so much time lost on trying to get a non trial code keygen, so many viruses threating around, and your solution is just a few minutes work… many people already said, but you are A Genious! thanx!
for others, post 253 worked properly with 60-days trial version of Office Professional 2007 downloaded from Microsoft site, so I replaced the mso.dll with tomtom’s, entered zeros in phone activation, and clicked next… and thats REALY all!

Elite’s comment wasn’t about the “NeverInstalled” hack. He was talking about the comment i posted using pppppppp as nickname (Tomtom is better, isn’t it?). In that comment i linked to a file containing all the procedure of post #253 and both rtm and sp1 mso.dll patched files.
April 1st, 2008 01:14
Elite,
“neverinstall” hack on trial verson WILL STILL expire and locks up your office after 25 uses. It’s what I did and tried to figure out for a whole month straight until I came across this post. You will still need to use a “correct” key and activate it to use office 07 free and clear.
sorry to burst your bubbles.

Tomtom,
Hi, I want to thank you for your posts. I used one of your codes in #253 and I succeeded, however the powerpoint is still expired and not able to run. I am not of what office type i have, since it’s preinstalled in my nb.
Do I have to uninstall in order to upgrade to the professional? or is there another way just to activate the powerpoint?
thank you very much again Tomtom.

How do I go to “NeverInstalled” hack in proof.xml on my computer? I have windows xp home edition.
March 30th, 2008 22:39
Help I have an actual disk (not downloaded or what not) of Professional Plus 2007 but the serial that I have must have been passed around or something before I bought the disk. I bought it from my mom’s ex before they broke up, and now it doesn’t work…Serial number won’t even take in the installer now for some reason. Anyway do you have another VLK for professional plus 2007, and do you know which edition would have ms project professional 2007 and a working genuine key?
March 30th, 2008 22:14
Hi Tomtom. I try to install office enterprise edition 2007 from the trial executable. I have the activation problem. I used the key in #337, but it seems not to be a VLK. VLK’s do not require activation after installation. Do you know working VLK’s ? Thank you.
March 30th, 2008 21:23
Hello Nicky. Does office say the “000000 000000…” confirmation code is invalid AFTER replacing with the right mso.dll? Did you use the “NeverInstalled” hack in proof.xml?
March 30th, 2008 14:31
Hi jess! I have the same thing. here’s a non trial product key: T3PVR-XX42X-T49DW-WGBG6-9FT73
March 30th, 2008 11:05
hi, i have a ms office professional plus 2007 and i installed it. but then if i put the serial number only, it makes it be a 180days trial only. if i want to make it be a full version i need to put referral key which i have no idea. can you help me plz?
March 30th, 2008 02:03
Tomtom I did installed the wrong file, but I just deleted it and install the correct one with the same reults. It’s still asking for a confirmation code.

microsoft office word has not been installed for current user
This is the fix. Most people get this error because they ran Microsoft Repair or something to that effect. You have to re-replace the .dll you downloaded from Tom-tom again.
If you run the repair from microsoft, it replaces that dll.
that is what happened to me. Run as admin and all the microsoft articles did NOT help.

Awesome, sp1 version worked!
Thank you!!!
