WHY CSCRIPT OSPP.VBS /****MAND IS NOT WORKING FOR OFFICE 2021 IN WIN 11?

Hi, can someone tell me why cscript ospp.vbs /****mand is not working for Office
2021 in Win 11?

Is there any way to find the licensed status of Microsoft Office 2021? or the
license key? or there is no way anymore without looking at the Ms account?

Hi shaifful,



Thank you for querying in this forum.



From your description, it seems that you have installed and activated Office
2021 professional Plus in Windows 11, however, you cannot use OSPP command find
the licensed status.



May I know if my understanding is right? If so, for the situation you
encountered, we do understand the inconvenience caused and apologize for it.

We’d also want to help you solve the problem directly, since our category focus
on Microsoft 365 for business products, the question you mentioned is related to
Office 2021 Professional Plus, to make sure you get professional help, we’d
suggest you go to Microsoft Q & A -itpro to post a new question, which is
specific channel to handle such situation.



At the same time, per our search, we can use OSPP command to check license type
and product key, as shown below:



For your reference: Determine the license type of your Microsoft Office product
- Office 365 | Microsoft Docs

However, according to the screenshot you provided, it seems that you didn’t
activate Office successfully. To do further investigation, we’d still suggest
you go to Microsoft Q & A -itpro to post a new question, and engineers in
related team will focus on your specific scenario and provide specific
suggestions.

 

Your understanding and patience will be highly appreciated. I hope that you are
keeping safe and well!

 

Best Regards,

Sukie
