How to view the Licensing Status and Activation ID of your Windows OS with slmgr.vbs

Windows Software Licensing Management Tool, slmgr.vbs is a command line licensing tool. It is a visual basic script used to configure licensing in Windows and also helps you see the licensing status of your Windows 7 or Windows 8 installation.

To get all the Activation IDs for the installed version of Windows, type slmgr.vbs /dlv all in start search and hit Enter.

Because of WMI changes in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the Slmgr.vbs script is not intended to work across platforms. Using Slmgr.vbs to manage a Windows 8, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 system from the Windows Vista operating system is not supported.
