    Hi all :)
    Need your help please... office version 16.0.9126.2336 has reach eol timebomb on 12/31/2018. I can't re-activate again, how to troubleshoot this issue? Repairing office doesn't help

    my install method is using ODT with XML config:

    Code:
    <Configuration>
    <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="Broad">
                <Product ID="ProPlus2019Retail">
                <Language ID="en-us" />
                <ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
                <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
                <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
                <ExcludeApp ID="SkypeforBusiness2019Retail" />
            </Product>
                <Product ID="VisioPro2019Retail">
                <Language ID="en-us" />
                <ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
                <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
                <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
                <ExcludeApp ID="SkypeforBusiness2019Retail" />
            </Product>
            <Product ID="ProjectPro2019Retail">
                <Language ID="en-us" />
                <ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
                <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
                <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
                <ExcludeApp ID="SkypeforBusiness2019Retail" />
            </Product>
        </Add>
        <Updates Enabled="TRUE" Channel="Broad"/>
        <Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
    </Configuration>
    
    Then convert it with C2R-R2V_6 and activate with KMS

    Right now neither office program will run, it will automatically closed immediately. I don't know why i got the preview version, I plan to use stable update channel (not monthly) and I have read here that better to use ProPlus2019Retail than Perpetual2019VL because the later will wait longer to receive update.

    It's supposed to run all the time. It's fine.
    Follow this post
    Yeah, it's safe to use them, you can check the codes to verify it.

    These opens source scripts and files are there from many years in a forum with 1 million members, it would have been caught if there is something fishy about it.
    Tag/quote the author in your report.

    Update to my problem:
    • I try to reset the license by rename a file to become tokens.dat.old in "C:\Windows\System32\spp\store\2.0"
    • reset office via control panel
    • convert office to VL using OfficeRTool
    • successfully activate with KMS_VL_ALL
    I think what make it successfully activate this time is the _AE key.

    But, still office won't run. Am i must completely reinstall office using at least version 16.0.10730.20205 ? Please help me guys

    (sorry if bump)

    Do you think a cause could be the fact that I didn't run any office product before attempting to activate? I don't know, maybe I'm talking nonsense...But I'd like to give it another try. By the way, since I've managed to activate using OfficeRtool, do you know how can I ... revoke the activation, just to try again with your tools? Because I used Scrub and after that reinstalled Office but, after using C2R-R2V all products were instantly activated, without the need to use OfficeRtool again...Seems like scrub doesn't erase activation...Is there a way or do I need to wait for 179 days...

    Scrub (cleanospp.exe) removes product keys and licenses, it will not / cannot remove or reset KMS activation, because it's tied with Windows activation, and require spp store rebuild (not just tokens.dat), or rearm Office

    Hi everyone!

    I am quite new to this whole KMSpico and have tried searching the forum, but most of the answers seem way to technical for me to even know if they are the same issue I am facing.

    I have a new laptop that came with Win10 Home Single language. I was originally using Libre Office but I absolutely needed PPT and Word (and I turned here).

    Downloaded "ProPlus2019Retail" using Windows ISO Downloader.iso and activated it with random key off the internet..... worked for a month or so, even got a update. But now it has stopped working and am being requested to activate. I got the portable version of KMSpico (old version I think, from this forum) but it didn't update my Office 2019, although the Check Actication CMD inside it was able to detect Office wasn't activated. It also had a line about upgrading Windows to Professinal, which I have done successfully.

    Since then I have tried "KMS_VL_ALL-SppExtComObjPatcher-kms-28" taken from this forum and also installed "Office 2016 ProPlusRetail" taken form the same Windows ISO downloader app (thought the newer office hasn't yet been cracked or something). Also uninstalled 2019 and 365 app from my PC and tried the activation.

    But none of these resulted in Office being activated for me. Am I missing any basic step here? I also deactivate McAfee whenever I try this process.

    Got this when I run the command:

    Office 2013/2016/2019 Product Detected...

    Activating: Windows(R), Professional edition
    Product Activation Successful
    Remaining Period: 180 days (259200 minutes)

    No Installed Office 2010 Product Detected...


    Press any key to exit...
    And the result for checking activation status returns :

    Kindly help me to get Office activated. Would like the latest possible version but anything that works without issues is fine. I just need them for classes, I can make do with LibreOffice for the rest of my needs.

    Point me to the appropriate forums of this is a repeat question. I am finding it a bit difficult to navigate this forum.

    Hey!

    Followed your instructions and now have got Office 2019 working. Thanks so much for the help

    I used the C2R-R2V simply because that was your first suggestion and I just clicked on the link. Most of those don't seem to make much sense to me.

    But it seems to work fine for me. I just used the manual KMS activation and plan on running it every few months instead of leaving it running all the time.

    Thanks for the help, again.

    Thank you very much! Just to be clear, though:
    1. These are lines I should copy to admin command prompt and run?
    2. Which method is preferred? I mean does the simpler rearm come with any serious cons?

    :D Alright... I guess I won't try store rebuild ... However, what about rearming? I think that every office copy supports 2 - 3 rearms.. I' m not certain though ... If you don't know either, I'm not gonna fool around.... Don't wanna learn the hard way... Last question; After the 180 days are done, do you think I could try to reactivate with your tool or since I've started with OfficeRtool, I must continue with it? Thanks for everything man!
