Volume license versions: If you work in an organization that manages. Key Management Service (KMS) –> Install your KMS host key –> Commit The steps in the volume activation tool may differ for you but for me I did the following.If it doesn’t then open it manually (Administrative Tools –> Volume Activation Tools) After the installation the Volume Activation Tools window should open.exe as administrator (at the time of this writing the. Remember, the KMS host key is the one you will find in your volume licensing center. To confirm that the key is installed, run the following command: cscript %windir%/system32/slmgr.vbs /dlv all The Office 2016 installation (if you downloaded it from the VLSC) will come pre-installed with the KMS key and will, by default, search for your KMS server in DNS. You should see something like this: Name: Office 16, Office16KMSHostVL_KMS_Host editionĭescription: Office 16, VOLUME_KMS channelĪlso don’t forget that you will need a minimum of 5 activation attempts (from different machines) before Office 2016 clients will even register as activated. I don't know why.If you have less than 5 then they will remain in grace period before expiring and prompting users for activation. I'm confused because I used KMS to activate Office reliably for years and suddenly it's not working.
It gave this message:Ĭould not detect Office ClickToRun service.
I'm assuming if this is not going to work then no other program in the megathread list will work in activating it because for some reason the version I have is incompatible with KMS activation and such? Or is there a way around?įurther edit: I saw on the megathread that they have something to convert retail versions to volume licences and I ran that CMD script but it did not work. So basically I tried to run the activation scripts from the MAS entry in the megathread and this is what the CMD file said in response when I clicked activate:ĭoes anyone know what that means? Retail versions? When I press activate Office, literally nothing happens.Įdit: The automod linked me to the tools page of the megathread which was helpful. I had previously been able to activate it no problem using KMS Auto but now that doesn't work for some reason. The program still works but it keeps on saying the product is not activated every time I open it and that's annoying.
I looked through the megathread, could not find anything useful for this purpose. When I used toolkit it just said "invalid class" and when I used those CMD activators it just said my version is not supported. I've done all the standard stuff already nothing works.
