Hi,

Please advise, thank you.

Hi Nadhrah,

Have you installed these 10 licenses on 10 computer for Office 2016 activation?

If you want to know which license is used on which computer, we can run the following script one by one for twn computers:

1. Run as Administrator to open Command Prompt.
2. Run the following script to check the license information:
   cscript.exe "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs /dstatus
3. If you are running 32-bit Office 2016 on a 64-bit operating system, the script is: 
   cscript.exe "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs /dstatus
4. In the results, make sure the License Status is Licensed. Then you can collect the last 5 character of installed product key: GF2FF.
5. Compare the last characters of your ten licenses to match them with devices.

Hi Nadhrah,

Based on my knowledge, running cscript slmgr.vbs /dli can display license information for Windows.

If you have further question on Windows license checking, it is highly recommended to ask a question in Windows forum for more discussion. Thanks for your understanding :)

Volume Licensing and Activation, does not care about which devices have consumed the licenses, it only cares that you allowed no more than purchased.

If you utilise MAK activation methods, there are no records except on the client computers.

If you utilise KMS activation methods, you can examine the event logs on your KMShost server and parse those logs to see which KMSclient machines-names have activated to your KMShost.

If you utilise ADBA activation methods, there are no records except on the client computers.

You can utilise VAMT, to scan/discover your networked computers and this will perform inventory of products and product keys and store in the VAMT database for you.

Or you can visit each computer and check using the command:

cscript slmgr.vbs /dli all
