Rename products in office account

Hello

When we purchase and install office for our customers we register the PKC to a generic email account on office.com. The downside to this is they all say Office Home and Business 2013.

Can these be renamed at all so that they are more easily identifiable aka the PC name it is installed onto.

Hi,

I'm not aware of such method to rename the purchase information, you can confirm this with your local customer service:

A method to tell which product key is installed on one PC, is to check the last five digits of the product key associated with the installation on that PC:

  1. Go to the PC that has Office 2013 installed

  2. Right click the Windows icon and select Command Prompt.

  3. Enter the appropriate command:

    For 32 bit Windows:

    cscript C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS /dstatus

    For 64 bit Windows:

    cscript C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS /dstatus

  4. The command prompt box will show you the last five digits of the product key associated with the installation on that PC.

  5. Make a note of the PC the Office 2013 product is installed on, and five digit number. You will need this for reference.

Actually for multiple users, I recommend Volume Licensing to activate Office, which is much easier to manage:
