Activation Status Checker

Activation Status Checker

Run these commands from an elevated terminal to verify activation:

Windows — quick check

slmgr /xpr

Reports whether Windows is permanently activated or shows an expiration date.

Windows — full license details

slmgr /dlv

Shows edition, channel (HWID / KMS / Retail), partial product key and machine status.

Office — license status

cd "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office16"
cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus

Lists every installed Office license and remaining grace period.

Interpreting the result

  • LICENSE STATUS: LICENSED + permanently activated → genuine.
  • NOTIFICATION → activation expired or never completed.
  • OOB_GRACE / OOT_GRACE → grace period, will expire.

If your install is not activated, run the Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS) one-liner from the home page.
