PC broken, Office and Windows license?
Good morning,
I have a PC where Windows is no longer running. The problem is that it has an Office license on it (not tied to a Microsoft account, only locally). Can I deactivate this license and read the key via the console? The same issue applies to the Windows license.
The Office license was a once buy I can read the Office key?
At any rate, I don’t know how to get the license key
If the computer is still good, you can request a new one.
Volume license: Turn to the admin of the license. Good luck!
OEM license: Nö. The license also lives with a loss of hardware.
Reatil license: No problem – but in this case you should know the license key and do not have to “research” it.
The hardware still works! Only the Windows installation is scrap.
… why do you think that would do something?
In Germany, there is an important court judgment of the Bundesgerichtshof (BGH), which states that the binding of OEM software to the hardware is inadmissible. This means that OEM licenses are not necessarily bound to the original computer and can be transferred to another computer.
The judgment was dated 6 July 2000 (Az. I ZR 244/97) and allows OEM products to be purchased and used without the associated hardware. This means that you can activate an OEM license on another computer as long as you have purchased the license from a trusted dealer.
That’s so wrong.
It’s about an operating system not necessarily being sold with the hardware. That’s a difference.
Otherwise: Have fun with an international court dispute of a US company. It’ll cost a lot of money and get nix. 🤷
This is not true my OEM license could also be activated on new PC
– And?
This is one of the 3 license models.
You don’t give any information about what a license you have – in so far this verbal rumgeeiere does not do anything. 🤷
You have written “With a loss of hardware, the license also expires” at OEM license

I have been buying my office and Windows licenses there for years, everything works easily.
