将Microsoft Office许可证或订阅从一台计算机转移到另一台计算机很容易。但请注意，并非所有Office许可证都可以转让。本教程是在Windows(Windows)和Mac计算机上传输Microsoft Office许可证的分步指南。
但首先，请浏览以下部分以了解Microsoft Office许可证的类型。后续部分介绍检查Office许可证类型和将许可证转移到新设备的步骤。
Microsoft Office 许可证的类型
有不同类型的Microsoft Office许可证。每个许可证都有不同的应用程序、服务和功能。让我们看一下一些流行的Microsoft Office许可证：
- 原始设备制造商 (OEM) 许可证：(Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) License:) OEM Office许可证由制造商从工厂预安装在新的Windows设备上。(Windows)此许可证附带的产品密钥(product key)不能转让或用于激活另一台计算机上的Microsoft Office应用程序。(Microsoft Office)
- 完整产品包或完整打包产品 (FPP) 许可证：(Full Product Pack or Full Packaged Product (FPP) License:)也称为“零售许可证(Retail License)”，此许可证随您手动安装在计算机上的Office应用程序一起提供。(Office)如果您在线或在商店购买Office ，则可以在任何计算机上使用其许可证。(Office)
但是，您一次只能在一台 PC 上使用它。要将零售许可证转移到另一台计算机，您必须首先停用当前设备上的产品。家用程序(Home Use Programs)( HUP )、电子软件下载(Electronic Software Download)( ESD )、销售点(Point)激活(Sale Activation)( POSA ) 和产品密钥卡(Product Key Card)( PKC ) 是在线和商店销售的零售许可证的不同变体。
- 批量许可证：(Volume Licenses:)当公司或企业为五台或更多计算机购买Microsoft Office时，他们将获得批量许可证。该软件可以使用一个许可证密钥在多台计算机上安装和激活。批量许可证是可转让的，但过程并不十分简单。您需要联系 Microsoft 的批量许可服务中心(Licensing Service Center)( VLSC ) 以开始该过程。
- 不得转售 (NFR)：(Not For Resale (NFR):)这些是作为礼品赠送的办公产品，通常用于促销目的。(Office)NFR产品的许可证不可转让。
如何在Windows中检查(Windows)Office 许可证类型(Office License Type)
只有“零售(Retail)”或“完整产品包(Full Product Pack)( FFP )”许可证可以转移到不同的设备。检查Office许可证的步骤通常取决于Office版本和计算机的操作系统。
(Check License Type)检查Office(Office 2016) 2016、2019 和 2021的许可证类型
如果您使用这些版本的Office产品（Word、Excel等），请按照以下步骤检查其许可证类型：
- 打开Windows 开始菜单(Windows Start Menu)，在搜索栏中键入cmd或命令提示符，然后选择(command prompt)以管理员身份运行(Run as administrator)。
- 如果您使用 32 位 PC，请在终端中键入或粘贴cd c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\并按Enter：
在 64 位计算机上，在终端中键入或粘贴cd c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\并按Enter。
不确定您的 PC 的处理器架构？请参阅我们关于检查您的 PC 是使用 32 位还是 64 位处理器(checking whether your PC uses a 32-bit or 64-bit processor)的教程。
- 接下来，在终端中键入或粘贴cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus并按Enter。
- 等待(Wait)命令运行并检查您的Office许可证类型的“许可证说明”行。
检查 Office 2013 的许可证类型
使用管理权限打开命令提示符(Command Prompt)并按照以下步骤操作。
- 在 32 位计算机上，在终端中键入或粘贴cd c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\并按Enter。
如果Office 2013 安装在 64 位 PC 上(Office 2013 is installed on a 64-bit PC)，请键入或粘贴cd c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\并按Enter。
- 键入或粘贴cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus并按Enter。
如果您有“零售(RETAIL)”或“FFP”许可证，请继续下一部分以了解如何将您的Office副本传输到另一台计算机。
您还可以通过其ISO或DVD安装文件确定Office 2013产品的许可证类型。(Office 2013)
将(Insert)DVD插入您的PC，打开文件资源管理器(File Explorer)，然后导航到DVD或ISO文件。如果安装文件中有“Admin”文件夹，则该产品具有批量许可证 (VL)。Microsoft Office产品的零售版没有“Admin”文件夹。
如何在 macOS中检查Microsoft Office 许可证(Microsoft Office License)
在您的Mac(Mac)计算机或桌面上打开Office产品，然后按照以下步骤检查其许可证详细信息。
- 在菜单栏上选择产品名称，然后选择关于 [产品名称](About [Product Name])。例如，如果您使用的是Microsoft Word，请选择菜单栏上的Word ，然后选择(Word)关于 Microsoft Word(About Microsoft Word)。
- 检查“许可证”行以查看产品的许可证类型。
如何转移Microsoft Office 许可证(Microsoft Office License)
同样，您只能在一台设备上同时使用零售许可证。卸载Office可以释放产品以在另一台计算机上使用。
如果您的旧计算机死机或损坏，您不必从设备上卸载Office 。相反，在新 PC 上安装Office并使用相同的产品密钥激活产品。
确保(Make)您手边有 25 个字符的产品密钥。检查光盘的物理包装或发送到您的电子邮件的收据以获取产品的许可证密钥。
(Deactivate Microsoft Office License)在Windows上(Windows)停用 Microsoft Office 许可证
卸载Office产品会从您的设备停用或取消链接许可证。我们在下面介绍了在Windows(Windows)设备上卸载Office产品的三种不同方法。
从控制面板卸载 Office
如果您使用DVD、ISO文件或Microsoft Installer ( MSI ) 安装产品，则从(MSI)Windows 控制面板(Windows Control Panel)中删除 Office是理想的选择。
- 打开 PC 的控制面板(Open your PC’s Control Panel)并将“查看方式”选项设置为Category。在“程序”类别中选择卸载程序(Uninstall a program)以继续。
- 选择(Select)要删除的Office产品，然后选择(Office)卸载(Uninstall)。
- 在确认提示中选择卸载(Uninstall)并等待Windows从您的 PC 中删除该产品。
从设置菜单(Settings Menu)卸载Office
如果您从Microsoft Store安装了(Microsoft Store)Office应用，请按照以下步骤删除该软件。
- 转到设置(Settings)>应用(Apps)>应用和功能，选择(Apps & features)Office应用旁边的三点图标，然后选择卸载(Uninstall)。
- 在弹出窗口中再次选择卸载。(Uninstall)
使用 Microsoft 的支持(Support)和恢复助手卸载 Office(Recovery Assistant)
Microsoft有一个官方工具，可以完全自动删除Windows计算机上的Office 。从Microsoft 的网站(Microsoft’s website)下载(Download)并安装该工具，然后等待它下载必要的安装文件。
该工具会自动检测您计算机上安装的所有Office产品。(Office)选择您要删除的产品，然后选择下一步(Next)继续。
确认您已保存工作并关闭了所有活动的Office应用程序。选择下一步(Next)开始卸载。
在 Mac 电脑上卸载 Office
转到Finder > Applications，右键单击Office应用程序，然后选择Move to Trash。
(Deactivate Office License)从您的Microsoft帐户停用 Office 许可证
Office 365 订阅( Office 365 subscription)允许您同时在五台设备上安装和使用Office产品。(Office)如果您达到了并发安装的数量，则必须取消链接一台设备才能在新计算机上使用许可证。
请按照以下步骤从您的Microsoft Office 365订阅中远程删除设备。
- 在任何 Web 浏览器上登录您的Microsoft Office 帐户。(Microsoft Office account)展开订阅(Subscriptions)下拉菜单并选择您的Microsoft 365订阅下方的管理。(Manage)
- 展开适用于 PC 或 Mac 的 Office 应用(Office apps for PC or Mac)下拉菜单。
- 在“已登录设备”部分中，选择要停用其Office许可证的设备旁边的注销。(Sign out)
- (Select Sign)在确认提示中选择退出。
在新计算机上使用 Office
在旧设备上卸载Office只是许可证转移过程的一半。结束部分是在新计算机上安装Microsoft Office 。设置软件时（在新设备上）输入旧机器上使用的相同许可证密钥。确保(Make)您的 PC 在激活过程中具有 Internet 连接。
Microsoft最多可能需要72 小时才能(Microsoft)远程取消许可证与旧设备的链接。如果许可证在 72 小时后无法在新 PC 上运行，请联系 Microsoft 支持(contact Microsoft Support)或参阅我们的修复 Office 许可证问题的教程(tutorial on fixing Office license problems)。
How to Transfer a Microsoft Office License
Τransferring a Miсrosoft Offіce license or subscription from оne сomputer to another is easy. However, note that not all Оffiсe licenses are transferable. This tutorial is a step-by-step guide on transferring Microsoft Office licensеs on Windows and Mac computers.
But first, skim through the following section to learn about the types of Microsoft Office licenses. Subsequent sections cover steps to check Office license types and transfer licenses to a new device.
Types of Microsoft Office Licenses
There are different types of Microsoft Office licenses. Each license has varying apps, services, and features. Let’s have a look at some popular Microsoft Office licenses:
- Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) License: OEM Office licenses are pre-installed on new Windows devices from the factory by the manufacturer. The product key attached to this license cannot be transferred or used to activate Microsoft Office apps on another computer.
- Full Product Pack or Full Packaged Product (FPP) License: Also called a “Retail License,” this license ships with Office apps that you manually install on your computer. If you purchase Office online or in-store, you can use its license on any computer.
However, you can only use it on one PC at a time. To transfer a retail license to another computer, you must first deactivate the product on the current device. Home Use Programs (HUP), Electronic Software Download (ESD), Point of Sale Activation (POSA), and Product Key Card (PKC) are different variations of retail licenses sold online and in stores.
- Volume Licenses: When a company or enterprise buys Microsoft Office for five or more computers, they get a volume license. The software can be installed and activated on multiple computers using one license key. Volume licenses are transferable, but the process isn’t exactly straightforward. You’ll need to contact Microsoft’s Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) to start the process.
- Not For Resale (NFR): These are Office products given away as gifts, typically for promotional purposes. Licenses for NFR products are not transferable.
How to Check Office License Type in Windows
Only “Retail” or “Full Product Pack (FFP)” licenses can be transferred to a different device. The steps for checking your Office license typically depend on the Office version and your computer’s operating system.
Check License Type for Office 2016, 2019, and 2021
If you use these versions of Office products (Word, Excel, etc.), follow the steps below to check their license types:
- Open the Windows Start Menu, type cmd or command prompt in the search bar, and select Run as administrator.
- If you use a 32-bit PC, type or paste cd c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\ into the terminal and press Enter:
On a 64-bit computer, type or paste cd c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\ in the terminal and press Enter.
Not sure about your PC’s processor architecture? Refer to our tutorial on checking whether your PC uses a 32-bit or 64-bit processor.
- Next, type or paste cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus in the terminal and press Enter.
- Wait for the command to run and check the “LICENSE DESCRIPTION” row for your Office license type.
Check License Type for Office 2013
Open Command Prompt with administrative privileges and follow the steps below.
- On 32-bit computers, type or paste cd c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\ in the terminal and press Enter.
If Office 2013 is installed on a 64-bit PC, type or paste cd c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\ and press Enter.
- Type or paste cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus and press Enter.
If you have a “RETAIL” or “FFP” license, proceed to the next section to learn how to transfer your copy of Office to another computer.
You can also determine the license type of Office 2013 products through its ISO or DVD installation file.
Insert the DVD into your PC, open File Explorer, and navigate to the DVD or ISO file. If there’s an “Admin” folder in the installation file, the product has a volume license (VL). Retail editions of Microsoft Office products don’t have an “Admin” folder.
How to Check Microsoft Office License in macOS
Open the Office product on your Mac computer or desktop and follow the steps below to check its license detail.
- Select the product name on the menu bar and select About [Product Name]. For example, if you’re using Microsoft Word, select Word on the menu bar, and select About Microsoft Word.
- Check the “License” row to view the product’s license type.
How to Transfer a Microsoft Office License
Again, you can only use a retail license on one device concurrently. Uninstalling Office frees up the product to be used on another computer.
If your old computer is dead or broken, you don’t have to uninstall Office from the device. Instead, install Office on the new PC and activate the product using the same product key.
Make sure you have the 25-character product key handy. Check the disc’s physical packaging or the receipt sent to your email for the product’s license key.
Deactivate Microsoft Office License on Windows
Uninstalling an Office product deactivates or unlinks the license from your device. We cover three different ways to uninstall Office products on Windows devices below.
Uninstall Office from Control Panel
Removing Office from the Windows Control Panel is ideal if you installed the product using a DVD, ISO file, or Microsoft Installer (MSI).
- Open your PC’s Control Panel and set the “View by” option to Category. Select Uninstall a program in the “Programs” category to proceed.
- Select the Office product you want to remove and select Uninstall.
- Select Uninstall on the confirmation prompt and wait for Windows to remove the product from your PC.
Uninstall Office from the Settings Menu
If you installed the Office app from the Microsoft Store, follow the steps below to remove the software.
- Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features, select the three-dot icon next to the Office app, and select Uninstall.
- Select Uninstall again on the pop-up.
Uninstall Office Using Microsoft’s Support and Recovery Assistant
Microsoft has an official tool that wholly and automatically removes Office on Windows computers. Download and install the tool from Microsoft’s website and wait for it to download the necessary setup files.
The tool automatically detects all Office products installed on your computer. Select the product you want to remove and select Next to proceed.
Confirm that you’ve saved your work and closed all active Office applications. Select Next to start the uninstallation.
Uninstall Office on Mac Computers
Go to Finder > Applications, right-click the Office application, and select Move to Trash.
Deactivate Office License from Your Microsoft Account
An Office 365 subscription allows you to install and use Office products on five devices simultaneously. If you’ve hit the number of concurrent installations, you must unlink one device to use the license on a new computer.
Follow the steps below to remove a device from your Microsoft Office 365 subscription remotely.
- Sign in to your Microsoft Office account on any web browser. Expand the Subscriptions drop-down menu and select Manage below your Microsoft 365 subscription.
- Expand the Office apps for PC or Mac drop-down menu.
- In the “Signed in devices” section, select Sign out next to the device whose Office license you want to deactivate.
- Select Sign out on the confirmation prompt.
Use Office on Your New Computer
Uninstalling Office on your old device is just half of the license transfer process. The concluding part is to install Microsoft Office on the new computer. Enter the same license key used on the old machine when setting up the software (on the new device). Make sure your PC has an internet connection during the activation.
It can take Microsoft up to 72 hours for Microsoft to remotely unlink the license from your old device. If the license doesn’t work on the new PC after 72 hours, contact Microsoft Support or refer to our tutorial on fixing Office license problems.
