On my network, I see a lot of MS Office Professional 2016 license key has been scanned as result.
But actually, these PCs have installed MS Office Standard 2016 version (not Professional), mean the result show wrong license key and wrong version.
Why this is happened? It is very important to have corrected license scan result, is there any way to work around?

I would double check what is actually stored in the registry keys. You should be able to find the license key in the following registry location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office (64-bit machines)

Presumably, Microsoft is storing the license with an incorrect name. If this is the case there is not much Lansweeper can do about it.
