When you run command “wmic path softwarelicensingservice get oa3xoriginalproductkey” shows blank result.


Why “wmic path softwarelicensingservice get oa3xoriginalproductkey” Shows Blank

The reason why it shows blank is because your Windows copy is activated with a digital license. The command only works if you are using product key, instead of digital license.

How To Validate License Key

1. On search console, search for settings and click open.

2. Navigate and click on Update & Security.

3. On the left sidebar, navigate and click on activation. Under activation, it will shows “Windows is activated with a digital license license”.

  1. I had the same problem but after fixing the issues with quotes and dashes, it worked. Here it is:

    Set WshShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
    MsgBox ConvertToKey(WshShell.RegRead(“HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DigitalProductId”))

    Function ConvertToKey(Key)
    Const KeyOffset = 52
    i = 28
    Chars = “BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789”
    Do
    Cur = 0
    x = 14
    Do
    Cur = Cur * 256
    Cur = Key(x + KeyOffset) + Cur
    Key(x + KeyOffset) = (Cur \ 24) And 255
    Cur = Cur Mod 24
    x = x -1
    Loop While x >= 0
    i = i -1
    KeyOutput = Mid(Chars, Cur + 1, 1) & KeyOutput
    If (((29 – i) Mod 6) = 0) And (i -1) Then
    i = i -1
    KeyOutput = “-” & KeyOutput
    End If
    Loop While i >= 0
    ConvertToKey = KeyOutput
    End Function
