    This will only remove product-key, NOT the license files.
    The 2 registrations come from 2 licence files registered in "tokens.dat".
    You must rebuild "tokens.dat" to clean this condition.
    See here. and here.

    Thank you, then for what I understand, that means that after reinserting those keys their previous activation status would come up again if tokens wasn't rebuild.

    ok the office 2019 activation is gone.

    but I seem to be doing something wrong with the script for office 2016

    Correct. File "tokens.dat" is scanned for licenses which are configured and then
    corresponding GVLK keys will be inserted by KMS_VL_ALL (or any other KMS
    solution) for all licenses found.

    You were meant to open an admin cmd prompt, and then enter:
    Code:
    cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv all > C:\slmgr-output.txt
    
    it'll then output to a txt file on c:\ root. Please take a look at ratzlefatz posts and links, these commands will only delete the installed keys. If you wish to remove the complete license, tokens.dat and cache.dat must also be removed.

    so now a bit confused, do we have a volume addition, or do we just convert retail to volume? :)

    It seems there is not much difference between installing VL directly or converting retail to VL (by reporting if you install the retail version first you get a newer build). What makes a difference is the update channel that are so many and leave us confused in which to choose :(

    I'm not familiar with C2R. Even installing the VL version directly will I have a process running in the background and updating the office? I'd like to have nothing running in the background or updating automatically.

    One weird thing I'm having trouble to figure out. On one system I'm getting:
    Code:
    SKU ID: 85dd8b5f-eaa4-4af3-a628-cce9e77c9a03
    LICENSE NAME: Office 19, Office19ProPlus2019VL_KMS_Client_AE edition
    LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 19, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel
    BETA EXPIRATION: 01/01/1601
    LICENSE STATUS:  ---LICENSED---
    
    While in another VM I get:
    Code:
    SKU ID: 85dd8b5f-eaa4-4af3-a628-cce9e77c9a03
    LICENSE NAME: Office 19, Office19ProPlus2019VL_KMS_Client_AE edition
    LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 19, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel
    LICENSE STATUS:  ---LICENSED---
    
    Both are 19PPRetail/monthly installations made with OfficeRTool, then C2R-R2V_4 and KMS_VL_ALL-SppExtComObjPatcher-kms-25. configure64.xml is the same in both machines. Where does BETA EXPIRATION: 01/01/1601 come from?

    Thanks, but it still doesn't work but it works in Edge, which is strange (I only remembered using it now). However, I think I prefer 365 to it. Anyway, what is this channel thing everyone is talking about and where do you have to choose one?

    I changed to x64 for performance reasons (Word and Outlook specifically); the ONLY reason (in my humble opinion) to continue using Office x32 is due to lack of plug-ins in x64 (that issue went away as of Office 2016 x64, as the last of any plug-ins I needed went x64).

    I will move to office 64 bit tonight. Office 2019 pro plus installs 32 bit by default unless you find the 64 bit installation file.
