Activate Office License

broken image


My customer wanted to know if Office 2016 copy was activated correctly on one of their computers. The story why it was necessary is told below.

The following table describes the license state of the Office with respect to activation. You use the ospp.vbs script with the /dstatusall option to check the license state for all Office clients. Use the /dstatus option to check the status of the local client.

Did Your Office 2016 or Office 2016 License Successfully Activate?

After the installation and activation of Office 2016 or Office 365 on your computer, you can make sure that your Office copy is activated correctly in the command prompt using ospp.vbs script included in Office.

First of all, you need to know the bitness of your Office (32- or 64-bit). To do it, start any Office program (Word, Excel, Outlook) and select File -> Office account -> About. In the next window the bitness of your copy will be shown. (In our example, it is 32-bit.)

Run the command prompt with the administrator privileges and go to the directory, which path depends on the bitness and versions of your Windows and Office:

  1. View Your Office 2016 or 2013 Key on Your Office Account Page. If you previously registered and activated your copy of Microsoft Office 2016 or 2013, you'll be happy to know that Microsoft has stored for you, and will show you, your original product key.
  2. Along with the purchase, I also bought an Office 2019 activation key. The Office apps (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) were all installed when I received the laptop. When I open one of these apps, I'm prompted to activate my Office license to use the products. Problem My plan is to install Linux over top of Windows and then run Windows in a virtual.
  • If you are using Windows x64 and Office 32-bit (the most typical case): CD %SystemDrive%Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice16
  • Windows x86 and Office 32-bit: CD %SystemDrive%Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice16
  • Windows x64 and Office 64-bit: CD %SystemDrive%Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice16

Check Office activation status with the following command: Doom 3 amazon pc.

cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus

According to the information the tool provides, this Office2016 copy is activated (LICENSE STATUS: —LICENSED—) on the KMS server (KMS machine name) using the GVLK for Office 2016 Pro Plus (Last 5 characters of installed product key). The license will be active for 176 days (REMAINING GRACE). If the KMS server is available, the license is automatically renewed for 180 days every 7 days (KMS Activation FAQ). What format for mac.

Removing Office 2016 Activation Window: Let's Get Started

As we have seen earlier, the version of Office 2016 installed on this computer is activated, however when trying to start any Office products the following window appears:

Let's get started
Choose one
  • Try – Get a free trial of Office 365
  • Buy – Buy Office from the Microsoft Store
  • Activate – Enter you Product Key or sign in
Activate office 2016 license

You can close this window that doesn't restrict any Office features, but it appears every time when you start any of the products, that is terribly annoying. Thorn system 1700 manual. I could find out how to remove this activation window.

As it turned out the problem is related to the preinstalled Office 365 that had been uninstalled to install Office 2016 instead. I tried to use the removal tools offered on Microsoft website to remove this window, but they didn't help.

The only feasible way was to remove the registry key (depending on the bitness of the system): Macbook leopard os.

Office 2016 Volume License Key

  1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftOffice16.0CommonOEM
  2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice16.0CommonOEM

It is faster to do it in PowerShell:

Remove-Item –Path 'HKLM:SOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftOffice16.0CommonOEM' –Recurse
Remove-Item –Path 'HKLM: SOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice16.0CommonOEM' –Recurse

Just close all Office applications and start them again. The Office activation notification will disappear. https://ameblo.jp/menctallebulm/entry-12651143656.html.
