This article helps you determine the licensing type of your Microsoft Office product, whether it's Microsoft 365, Office LTSC 2021, Office 2019, Office 2016, or Office 2013.

License types

To determine whether you have a retail edition or a volume license edition, use one of the following methods, depending on which version of Microsoft Office product you've installed.

Microsoft 365

If you're using a Microsoft 365 product, see View Microsoft 365 licenses and services with PowerShell. Follow the steps to find your license type and other details about your version of Office.

  1. Press Windows logo key+X on your keyboard to open the quick action menu.

  2. Select Command Prompt (Admin).

  3. If a security prompt window is displayed, select Allow.

Using the command line to check your license type

  1. Open an elevated Command Prompt window.

  2. Type the following command to navigate to the Office folder.

    For 32-bit (x86) Office

    cd c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice16

    • If the Admin folder does not exist, this disc is a retail edition.

    Note

    Retail media includes a lowercase 'r' before the '.WW' in the folder name and before the 'WW.msi' in the MSI file name.For example, the installation file for Proplus retail is ProplusrWW.msi in the ProplusrWW folder. Proplus non-retail is ProplusWW.msi in the PlusplusWW.
