Serials MS Office

Question

Microsoft

Hi hubr!
The authorities set the task, to collect all the serials of the Office, stupidly go through and rewrite it is not possible due to a number of reasons. Please advise how to quickly collect serial numbers over the network to identify illegal copies of MS Oficce.
Thank you!

Answer 1

Use the "Remote Registry" feature.
But you are doing everything wrong.
The company must have documents for offices (even possibly with keys). Accounting documents.
You just count the difference between the number of licenses and the number of required offices, buy the necessary ones, check that those who do not need an office do not have one.
When checking, you show the documents - no one cares what serial number you have there, whether the file is broken or not.
And if there are no documents on the purchase, then the presence of licenses will not help you.
If it was bought with an OEM office, then the story is different.

Answer 2

If Office was purchased under a volume license, then the serial number will be the same. Each version has its own.

Answer 3

Get from the registry?

Answer 4

Script on Posh, there are examples in Google.

Answer 5

If you’re stuck with a script, there are a lot of utilities ( for example, this one ) that will help you look at this matter both locally and remotely.

Answer 6

Thanks for the advice.
The fact is that the park is very motley, there are offices 2003, 2007, 2010 as well as OpenOffice, and the task is to assemble on which machine which office with which serial number.
Thank you!
