    Hi all I really need some help I have been trying to install Office 2016 with the 02016Rtool but I cannot. I uninstalled 2013 using Microsoft toolkit. than started using the 02016rtool to install the program, I download x64 and tried to install that but ended up to be the wrong one. I thought that because when I right clicked on my computer and it had said it was 64, I was wrong. So I than downloaded the x86 version without any problems and proceeded to follow the instructions. I got it to install it than when I ran it. Than it asked for a network confirmation or something ( I forget what exactly it was it was yesterday) So I thought I must of done something wrong, and then used the toolkit to uninstall that. Now when I try to install the program I am getting an error code 30015-11 (255) . I have tried to download a new file from online but nothing seems to work. I am a noob to this so any help would be very nice.

    Thanks :eek:

    I suspect it's not yet converted to volume license (VL) so it can be seen by MTK.

    I still do not have Office activated.:weep: tried to find tokens.dat as in the one suggestion by Simple07 in this location. C:\Windows\System32\spp\store_test\2.0\tokens.dat There isn't any thing in there that says tokens.dat, in fact there is only two folders in system32\spp\ they are plugin-manifests and the file Tokens with some sub folders in there but there is no tokens.dat I even tried to run cleanospp.exe in the 02016RTool but nothing I am doing is working.. I am not the best at this and do need advice on this please.

    Can you make sure that in the File Manager's folder options (under the View tab) you have everything in view.

    Just to lower pressure and to get a common basement:

    You use Windows 7, 32bit/x86 - Office licensing is handled different with Windows 7
    compared to Windows 8.x or Windows 10. So the location for the Office license file
    "tokens.dat" is not found in "C:\Windows\System32\spp\store(_test)\2.0" - This
    location "./store/" only exists running Windows 10 GA. "./store_test/" = Windows 10 Insider.

    Locations of Office license file "tokens.dat" running Windows 7:
    c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform
    c:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform

    Be sure to delete file "tokens.dat" in the above 2 locations only.

    It additionally exists in another folder:
    c:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform

    But that's Windows 7 activation. You will loose Windows activation when you delete
    "tokens.dat" in the "SoftwareProtectionPlatform" folder.

    You have to redo [C]onversion from Retail to Volume before trying KMS activation.

    If this doesn't work either then do the following to clean up the messed system:

    Run Microsoft Office FixIt-Tool TWICE! I found out, that (for whatever reason) not all traces of
    a messed up Office installation were removed during the first run.

    So before starting again do the following:
    1.) run FixIt-Tool once
    2.) REBOOT (important!)
    3.) run FixIt-Tool again
    4.) REBOOT (important)

    Then use O2016RTool to [D]ownload, install, [C]onvert and [K]MS activate.

    Thanks for the rely. I just have a couple of questions before I download and install again.
    If the Microsoft Toolkit removes everything should there be files in the registry pertaining the Office program? I used CCleaner to clean up just the lose files before I reinstall. After I did that I used the program just to check the registry to see if there was any references to the program and there was a ton that it had found. I did nothing with these. Should there be any ?

    And this may be a dumb question but when I reinstall Office should I at any time disconnect from the internet?

    Thanks

    And just for the heck of it I ran autoruns and looked at some of the tabs and there are still items in there, like lync click to call, send to one note, onenote lin&ked notes.

    Use the official MS-Office FixIt-Tool twice as I suggested. Microsoft should know best how to remove its own product.
    I know CCleaner, but I don't like such Tools. Because they do more harm to the registry. And the result is marginal.

    No, there is no need to do this. You can stay connected during install.

    As I said above: Go through FixIt-Tool procedure and if you are worried then you may check again.

    Thanks I used the fixit-tool a few times just to make sure, rebooted every time. I will ignore the results from CCleaner and do the install and let you know.

    Thanks again.

    Well I went to the Microsoft error page and done all the things that it asked me to do again, sys/scannow, proxy settings. antivirus, used Microsoft toolkit and removed all, rebooted and did again. than I ran autoruns. and deleted most of the files not found that were highlighted in yellow that had any reference to Office. rebooted again. than ran 02016RTool downloaded a new file and installed. This time I had no error and the program installed. now when I entered [C] to change to vl It came up with a bunch of errors It found the Office suite 2016 proplus. additional apps Project pro found. single apps says not found. than when I hit return it loads a bunch of items and some say error. once that is done echo comes up and it says off with a windows activation screen that says an error occurred and to contact Samsung. hit enter did this again than hit enter again each one says succesfull install . than when I use [K] to start activation I get errors activation failed. don't know what to try.
