Recover SharePoint 2007 / 2010 / 2013 Product Key using PowerShell

Salaudeen Rajack 10 Comments , ,

Ever wanted to recover your SharePoint 2007 or SharePoint 2010 Product key from an existing SharePoint Farm? Sure! It’s encoded and stored in the system registry, and we can recover the license key with PowerShell. Here is the code:

PowerShell Script to Recover SharePoint 2007 Product key:

function Get-SP2007ProductKey {    
    $map="BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789" 
    $value = (get-itemproperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration\{90120000-110D-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}").digitalproductid[0x34..0x42]  
    $ProductKey = "";
    for ($i = 24; $i -ge 0; $i--) { 
      $r = 0 
      for ($j = 14; $j -ge 0; $j--) { 
        $r = ($r * 256) -bxor $value[$j] 
        $value[$j] = [math]::Floor([double]($r/24)) 
        $r = $r % 24 
      } 
      $ProductKey = $map[$r] + $ProductKey 
      if (($i % 5) -eq 0 -and $i -ne 0) { 
        $ProductKey = "-" + $ProductKey 
      } 
    } 
    $ProductKey
} 

#Call the function
Get-SP2007ProductKey

PowerShell Script to Recover SharePoint 2010 Product Key:

function Get-SP2010ProductKey {    
    $map="BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789" 
    $value = (get-itemproperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Registration\{90140000-110D-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}").digitalproductid[0x34..0x42]  
    $ProductKey = ""  
    for ($i = 24; $i -ge 0; $i--) { 
      $r = 0 
      for ($j = 14; $j -ge 0; $j--) { 
        $r = ($r * 256) -bxor $value[$j] 
        $value[$j] = [math]::Floor([double]($r/24)) 
        $r = $r % 24 
      } 
      $ProductKey = $map[$r] + $ProductKey 
      if (($i % 5) -eq 0 -and $i -ne 0) { 
        $ProductKey = "-" + $ProductKey 
      } 
    } 
    $ProductKey
} 
#Call the function
Get-SP2010ProductKey

Retrieve SharePoint 2013 Product Key:

For SharePoint 2013, Set the $value parameter in the above code to :

$value = (get-itemproperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Registration\{90150000-110D-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}").digitalproductid[0x34..0x42]

and run the script!

    It works on my 2013 Enterprise servers, but on my 2013 Foundation servers I get this error:

    get-itemproperty : Cannot find path
    ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Registration\{90150000-110D-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}’
    because it does not exist.
    At line:3 char:13
    + $value = (get-itemproperty “HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Re …
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (HKLM:\SOFTWARE\…0-0000000FF1CE}:String) [Get-It
    emProperty], ItemNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetItemPropertyCommand

    and then a dozen screens of “cannot index into a null array” errors.

    Any idea why this doesn’t work on Foundation?
