    Is that key a shared MAK or genuine Retail key?

    If it happens to be a shared MAK then most likely it won't activate again.

    Does it say something like this?
    Office 16, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel | Partial product key | RJRJK

    If so, then you activated with a KMS activator and you don't need to save any key at all.

    You just format as planned and activate all products anew.
