Convert Office 2013 RTM to VOL

Hi guys,

I found a way to easily activate against a kms server an rtm install of office 2013.
For that, I had to diff the RTM and VOL iso.
I noticed that only the proplusww.msi (vol version) differs from proplusrww.msi (rtm version)

So what next ? Office 2013 can user the Windows 8 activation system, I deduct there has to be somewhere in the msi the xrm-ms vol version, and I found it.

Inside the LicenseSetData table, I found 3 files:
* ProPlusVL_KMS_Client-ppd.xrm-ms, you need it for slmgr to correctly consume the licence (simply for kms activation to works)
* ProPlusVL_KMS_Client-ul.xrm-ms, don't know if mandatory, I have to try
* ProPlusVL_KMS_Client-ul-oob.xrm-ms, you need it for slmgr to accept the GVLK

So, I extracted thoses files,
installed office 2013 RTM
Then slmgr /inslic thefile.xrm-ms
Then slmgr /ipk a-matching-gvlk
Then slmgr /ato office-id-activation
Note: use cscript ospp.vbs if you are on windows 7 instead of slmgr.

tested on windows 8 pro with office 2013 pro plus MSDN.
The advantage of this method (for me at least) is the ability to check the authenticity of the iso used to install office.

Licences files:

 

I don't tested it, but I assume it is the same for using MAK keys on an RTM build.
You just have to extract the ProPlusVL_MAK*.xrm-ms ones.

 

you right Tito, my bad, I didn't see the leaflies' post.
Thanks (as I didn't have project/viso vol)

 

redroad, I don't say that the xdelta file is wrong, but I have no way to easily authenticate that.
Moreover, there are more useless diff between rtm and vol, as packed file name, product id...

 

@redroad: Yeah, but since Office 2010, unfortunately, Microsoft does not publish the VL version on MSDN Subcsriptions (msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/securedownloads/hh442898#searchTerm=&ProductFamilyId=475&Languages=en&PageSize=10&PageIndex=0), so no informations is publicly available from Microsoft about hash or filename.
