Using WMI SoftwareLicensingProduct class I am fetching Partial Product Key / License Key for Microsoft Product. Its compatible with Windows Vista and above. But still I am not able to retrieve the Key for MS Office on few Windows10 system, for rest of the systems, its working as expected.

Code :

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) {

 HRESULT hres;

// Initialize COM.
hres =  CoInitializeEx(0, COINIT_MULTITHREADED); 
if (FAILED(hres))
{
    cout << "Failed to initialize COM library. " 
        << "Error code = 0x" 
        << hex << hres << endl;
    return 1;              // Program has failed.
}

// Initialize 
hres =  CoInitializeSecurity(
    NULL,     
    -1,      // COM negotiates service                  
    NULL,    // Authentication services
    NULL,    // Reserved
    RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_DEFAULT,    // authentication
    RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE,  // Impersonation
    NULL,             // Authentication info 
    EOAC_NONE,        // Additional capabilities
    NULL              // Reserved
    );


if (FAILED(hres))
{
    cout << "Failed to initialize security. " 
        << "Error code = 0x" 
        << hex << hres << endl;
    CoUninitialize();
    return 1;          // Program has failed.
}

// Obtain the initial locator to Windows Management
// on a particular host computer.
IWbemLocator *pLoc = 0;

hres = CoCreateInstance(
    CLSID_WbemLocator,             
    0, 
    CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, 
    IID_IWbemLocator, (LPVOID *) &pLoc);

if (FAILED(hres))
{
    cout << "Failed to create IWbemLocator object. "
        << "Error code = 0x"
        << hex << hres << endl;
    CoUninitialize();
    return 1;       // Program has failed.
}

IWbemServices *pSvc = 0;

// Connect to the root\cimv2 namespace with the
// current user and obtain pointer pSvc
// to make IWbemServices calls.

hres = pLoc->ConnectServer(

    _bstr_t(L"ROOT\\CIMV2"), // WMI namespace
    NULL,                    // User name
    NULL,                    // User password

    0,                       // Authority       
    0,                       // Context object
    &pSvc                    // IWbemServices proxy
    );                              

if (FAILED(hres))

    cout << "Could not connect. Error code = 0x" 
        << hex << hres << endl;

  • You should include some code demonstrating the issue. – MarsAtomic Jul 28 '16 at 13:31
  • I believe this is due to Office365 and how Office was installed. Most of my systems are the same way. You can always use `cscript “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS” /dstatus` though. It is a VBScript, and looking at it, it appears to still just use WMI, so the information is in there somewhere, just have to find the right class. – Tim Jul 28 '16 at 21:12
  • @Tim: Thanks . This script is helpful. But on few systems where "SoftwareLicensingProduct" class doesn't provide me Partial Key its shows following statement also along with Partial Key and other information : ERROR CODE : 0 as licensed. – Vasudha Sahu Jul 29 '16 at 09:39
  • @MarsAtomic : Code Added. – Vasudha Sahu Jul 29 '16 at 09:40
