    YAOCTRI doesn't activate office, it allows you to custom install office.

    YAOCTRU allows you to download office files for the installation.

    KMS_VL_ALL activates office with KMS and converts installed retail office to volume if required.

    Only KMS method is available to activate office for free.

    O365 office doesn't support KMS activation, activators convert it to mondo 2016 (O365 nearest KMS product, feature wise) to activate.

    I am searching here/looking for the possibility to install ms office 2k19 pro + using YAOCTRI for Retail MSDN license because its best than MAK and VOL. But some people say that retail keys are for only 1 hour than Microsoft blacklist them.

    Mount ProPlus2019Retail.img first, then run YAOCTRI or YAOCTRIR elevated.

    I have already installed ms off 2k19 pp at C as volume license, But I wanted it to install on D drive and as RETAIL.
    Can it transfer it from C to D drive and make it Retail. I think it cant. There is a thing called Symlink which can do that.
    or Do it needs a fresh Install, Then what about the ms office 2k19 which is already installed.
    thanks.
    Is it 100% true that ms office 2k19 pro + will be installed as Retail on a drive that I want?
    if it is so then I am uninstalling ms office VL and installing it as Retail.

    Sorry, you can't install Office 2016/2019 "Click2Run" versions on other than system drive (C).
    That's related to Office C2R 'Retail' and C2R 'Volume' versions and is fixed / designed by Microsoft.
    All Office 2019 versions are based on Click2Run install.
    So you have to live with it. No known way around this. Ask MS why there is such a restriction.

    OfficeRTool can change distribution-/update-channel
    Use option (U)

    OfficeRTool changes registry keys for 'distribution-' and 'update-channel'.

    As the build-number is different in each channel, OfficeRTool initiates an
    update to get the correct build. Before, you are able to enter a specific build
    to update to or use latest preselected Win7 valid build (= 16.0.12527.20442).

    Could be, this will have an effect on the workaround on your Win7 installation.
    If you're afraid this won't work, you should create a system backup in case you
    must go back.

    Update:
    Just tested with Win7 Pro x64, Office 365 (Dogfood channel) and OfficeRTool.
    Changed channels from Dogfood to Monthly and let update finish to latest W7
    build 16.0.12527.20442. I've converted Office Retail to Volume and let KMS
    activate. All is working.

    Activation is enabled in WOTOK if:
    1. "C:\Windows\system32\SppExtComObjHook.dll" does not exist (the activator is not already installed).
    2. x64.dll or SppExtComObjHook.dll exists. Example:
    \SppExtComObjHook.dll
    \wotok_online.exe
    or
    \x64.dll
    \wotok_online.exe
    3. WOTOK is set to ProPlus2019Volume
    4. "KMS seco" in WOTOK is checked.

    File SppExtComObjHook.dll = x64.dll (it does not need to be renamed)
    Example for name SppExtComObjHook.dll:
    from source code https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1508167/
    Example for name x64.dll:
    from KMS_VL_ALL (abbodi1406) https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/838808/
    File x64.dll is: \KMS_VL_ALL-38f\bin\x64.dll

    If you agree to the license in the Office program, Office will be activated from the second start of the Office program (if Windows 10 is VL licensed, Windows 10 VL will also be activated).

    Hi,
    It doesn't work for me. I've opened cmd as administrator and execute the command without "-windowstyle hidden" ... and in powershell everything is red with not allowed or denied. What could be the problem?

    I am on win7. Thanks.

    That's a powershell-, not a Office 2019-problem ;).
    -> start powershell console as admin
    -> enter the following command: Get-ExecutionPolicy -List
    Usually there is nothing defined as "ExecutionPolicy" (all scopes are 'undefined' = no extended scripting allowed)
    -> enter the following command: Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
    -> accept change (Y)
    -> start powershell script: .\Office2019AntiTelemetry.ps1
