To see the licensing status of your Windows 10/8/7 installation, open the Run box, type the following and hit Enter:
slmgr.vbs /dlv
The following dialog box will appear.
To get all the Activation IDs for the installed version of Windows, open the Run box, type the following and hit Enter:
slmgr.vbs /dlv al
Because of WMI changes in Windows 10/8/7 and Windows Server, the Slmgr.vbs script is not intended to work across platforms. Using Slmgr.vbs to manage a Windows 10/8/7 or Windows Server system from the Windows Vista operating system is not supported.
If you want the Windows operating system to attempt activation by using whichever key has been installed in the operating system, on a client computer, open a Command Prompt window, type the following command and hit Enter:
slmgr.vbs /ato
The /ato command helps in this case.
