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.

Hi deschain, you can dowload the file i linked in comment 411. That file should contain correct product keys.
May 31st, 2008 10:54
@ TOMTOM
Don’t know if you still read this, but I had a look at your comment 253 and I can’t get past the first step. Where can you get a proper key generator? None of the product keys you listed there worked for me (Office Professional), and I’m wary of downloading random ones which I’ve found viruses in.

ok ppl… here’s a way that really worked for me and i rele appreciate da person who had published it in another site… well most of the tym wen u guys activate office 2007 student and home version using ddy79-433jv-2rxgx-mqfqp-pfdh8 den again it will ask for another activation either through internet or via phone… here a simple way to by pass all that and activate your copy…
after activating using the above key close all office applications.. then download this MSO.DLL file from this link http://rs271.rapidshare.com/files/98467704/MSO_sp1.zip
then copy the MSO.DLL file to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\OFFICE12
location replacing the original MSO.DLL file there… After that start any office application and when prompted to activate chose via telephone.. Then fill all the code fields with 0s.
A 000000
B 000000
C 000000
D 000000
E 000000
F 000000
G 000000
and click ok… tadaa… You can use your copy happily ever after… Mind you this i tried only for the student and home version that came with vista…
for normal office 2007 you can find torrent downloads for cracked versions working without any serial which i use in my desktop.
hope it goes well for u guys

Hi Christian. If you got something modified (e.g. proof.xml, mso.dll, windows registry, etc.) try to restore those elements before uninstalling. Change back “NeverInstalled” to “AlwaysInstalled” in proof.xml and use the original mso.dll:
- if you use RTM version: go to C:\MSOCache\All Users, then look for your office product folder and extract mso.dll from the mail .cab file, for example if you have office 2007 ultimate go to C:\MSOCache\All Users\{91120000-002E-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-C and extract mso.dll from UltrWW.cab
- if you use SP1 version: try to reinstall sp1 (the installer should restore the original sp1 mso.dll)
Replace the patched mso.dll with the original one.
Then reboot and retry to uninstall office 2007.
If this does not work, try to read this how to.
Bye

Can anyone give me a key for Visio Pro 2007. The key listed on this website is no longer valid. I have also not been able to find a valid key from several keygens that I have tried. Please e-mail me at rfs2005(at)sbcglobal.net
Thanks!

hey all, I’d initially like to thank everyone who went out of their to be charitable enough to help us small folk acquire microsoft office 2007. After spending hours upon hours of clicking through and deleting different things, as well as trying different activation keys, I’ve decided: Fuck microsoft 2007 – 2003 works just as well. I tried activating my microsoft 2007 following many of the steps provided by vk, domma, dark ninja, all of which worked temporarily. it’s gotten to the point where microsoft word is completely locked up. So, I tried uninstalling it, but I guess from how badly I’ve butchered it, when i try to uninstall it, a box pops up saying that the files have been corrupted to where it can’t uninstall or continue. So i don’t know what to do. I’ve never encountered this before. i’ve given up altogether on 2007, and have decided to revert to 2003. If anyone could help me to delete 2007, i would be very grateful.
The moral of the story is: microsoft programs are getting worse and more volatile…
I would appreciate a direct email, but posting on here would be just as good.
thanks all, again, for resisting these tyrants
