Office 2007 has reached the end of its support lifecycle, which means that there are no longer any new security updates, non-security updates, free or paid assisted support options, or online technical content updates available. However, you can still change the product key for Office 2007 if needed.

To do so, follow these steps:

Method 1: Using a Command Prompt Script

Step 1: Open the Command Prompt as an administrator by right-clicking on the Start button and selecting 'Command Prompt (Admin)'.

This will display your Office 2007 product key.

Step 3: Copy the product key and open a new text file using Notepad or any other text editor. Paste the code into the text file.

Step 4: Save the file with a '.bat' extension, such as '1click.bat'.

Step 5: Double-click on the batch file to run it. This will activate your Office 2016 Standard installation using your existing Office 2007 product key.

Method 2: Using an Office CD

Activating Microsoft Office Without a Product Key

If you don't have an existing Office product key or need to upgrade your workspace, there are several options available. You can purchase a new copy of Office from Microsoft sales, which will give you access to incredible prices on laptops, desktops, mobile devices, software and accessories.

Alternatively, you can consider upgrading to a newer version of Office, such as Office 365, which offers more features and benefits than Office 2007. To switch an Office install to or from Microsoft 365, see Switch your Office license.

Changing the product key for Office 2007 is possible using command prompt scripts or physical installation media. However, it's important to note that Office 2007 has reached the end of its support lifecycle and no longer receives security updates or technical content updates. If you need to upgrade your workspace or update your software, consider purchasing a new copy of Office from Microsoft sales or upgrading to a newer version like Office 365.
