I am looking for a way to find Office 2013 product key. Does anyone know of any keyfinder that will work for office 2013 64bit.

I don't think the Jelly Bean will handle 2013.
How did you license the software? Through 365? VLK? OEM? Retail? That will determine your best course of action.

I did not have any luck with that for Office 2013. It worked for 2010 and 2007 though.

Does Spiceworks not yet pull 2013? I use it to keep track of my 2010 keys on each machine.

OEM shouldn't matter. OEM and Retail only matter for how the license works, and what media you use to install it with. It should still end up in the same area for the programs that can find it, to find it in.

I have used this before, not for office 2013. However, this says it works for retrieving the product key.

Hirens Boot CD has some windows key viewers that I love using. I don't remember specificly if I have tried them with 2013, but its worth a shot.

The application is really nice but it does not support office 2013

I can tell you SmartKey does NOT work, as I'm running 64-bit Office 2013 also.

Aardvark Technical Consulting, Inc. is an IT service provider.
Download Belarc and install the tool on the machine in question. It will give you the license key and lots more info about that machine.

Definitely go with Belarc. This is an easy program to use and will give you all your license keys.

OEM shouldn't matter. OEM and Retail only matter for how the license works, and what media you use to install it with. It should still end up in the same area for the programs that can find it, to find it in.
FWIW 2013 should be set up like 2010 where the OEM key is not the same as the License key and can't be used for reinstallation. Even if JellyBean (or other keyfinders) do find the key it's going to be the OEM key, not the actual product key for reinstalls.
The product key should be located on the package for the reinstallation DVD or on a product card (depending on your manufacturer) that was included with your PC.
If you did not recieve either, check your PC's markings and double-check that the serial number is not included near the Windows product key sticker (I haven't seen this done in ages, but for a while it was common to have the office key on a smaller sticker next to the windows one).
Failing all that contact the manufacturer (the unit should still be under warranty) and advise them of the situation.
I don't know if Office 2013 OEM is like Windows 8 OEM where there "kinda" isn't a product key, so it's possible that all you need to do is reinstall the software.
Finally:
As a reminder OEM software is only licensed for the hardware it was purchased with and cannot be transferred across different hardware.

I've had good luck with licensecrawler (www.klinzmann.name/licensecrawler.htm)

We used magicjellybean on office 2010 with no problems.
2013 is a different beast for whatever reason

These scripts from MS will get you the last 5 digits which may help you back tack.
In the command prompt, type the following:
Office 2010 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows
cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
Office 2010 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
Office 2010 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
Office 2013 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows
cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
Office 2013 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
Office 2013 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus

I forgot about Belarc, that works wonders. But be aware, it does give you way more info then you probably want.
