What is the best way to check Windows License Status using WMI query

I'm trying to find out the best way to check Windows License status using WMI query. The query should return one row indicating the license status and I want it to be as general as possible so that I can run it on many computers and different versions of operating systems.

So far have the following one:

SELECT LicenseStatus, Name, ApplicationID FROM SoftwareLicensingProduct

The problem is that it returns many rows. For example if there is Office installed it's also included in the query results and I don't know how to limit the results.

If you do not insist upon pure wmi query initially, try CLI command given below including output:

==>for /F "tokens=*" %G in ('where slmgr.vbs') do @cscript "%~G" /dli

Name: Windows(R), Core edition
Description: Windows(R) Operating System, OEM_COA_NSLP channel
Partial Product Key: ABCDE
License Status: Licensed

==>

Now you could (in a simple .bat script) combine it with 

==>wmic path SoftwareLicensingProduct where "PartialProductKey='ABCDE'" get LicenseStatus, Name, ApplicationID, PartialProductKey, Description /value

ApplicationID=55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f
Description=Windows(R) Operating System, OEM_COA_NSLP channel
LicenseStatus=1
Name=Windows(R), Core edition
PartialProductKey=ABCDE

==>

or simply take a look in that slmgr.vbs to see Microsoft solution.
