Assuming I'm willing to move off LTSC... What are my options if I want to activate copies off KMS? I prefer not to use copies of the software that have been manipulated or activated by 3rd part products, I'd also prefer to use official Microsoft deployment tools (like ODT). thanks
1) Install with ODT + configuration.xml (channel Current, Product ID ProPlus2024Retail and Publisher2021Retail) 2) Install licenses (PRID Publisher2021Volume and ProPlus2024Volume) and keys (KMS keys) with integrator.exe (or ospp.vbs or slmgr.vbs)
You can install office 365 enterprise for telemetry controls and activate with ohook ( just a dll to return yes subscription are active lol.... )
Hey guys, sorry for my lack of knowledge here. I'm not familiar with ohook or integrator, are these legitimate MS tools? I would like to avoid having to run anything on these systems outside of an actual MS program/tools/script. If there is no option and I have to use a script, it is one I would like to be fully open sources for me to audit the code. The option to use ODT ProPlus2024Retail and Publisher2021 as channels seems like it might be an options (of course I lose my desire for LTSC and will, I assume, need to deal with monthly updates), but the use of integrator.exe I'm not sure. You also mention ospp/slmgr. Currently I just set this in my xml file: Code: <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" /> And it seems to automatically activate the ProPlus2021/24 using the same KMS that the underlying Windows host is using. So I'm unfamiliar how alike this other process is. Can I define a single VLK in the ODT file that will be used to activate? This just seems a bit crazy, especially for an enterprise that has LTSC licensed and wants to move to the latest but also retain publisher. It doesn't even appear that one can manually install it, at least not using standard methods. Appreciate the help! P.S To clarify it looks like you gave two methods: 1) ProPlus2024Retail and Publisher2021Retail - sounds like this will work the same and allow both to be VLK activated, I just lose my LTSC preference? 2) Publisher2021Volume and ProPlus2024Volume - I don't exactly understand this on several levels. The first being I was not able to install both of these using the VLKs. I don't understand what integrator would do, and if I can use ospp.vbs instead as an official tool?
I've searched here and elsewhere for information on "OfficeClickToRun.exe" and "integrator.exe" Neither of these seem to have any documentation that comes up on Google from Microsoft. I don't know if Microsoft has partitioned off it's documentation somehow, but over the years it has been harder and harder to find technical documentation on lots of things. Searching on those terms here provides numerous hits, many of which reference third party hacks like OPT which I would rather not have to implement. As far as what I want, I explained it precisely in my last post what I am trying to do. 1) I am familiar with ODT, so would prefer to stick to that, although I am open to using another official MS method. The requirements I want from the ODT specifically are: I can control the install behavior of each app/component (exclude, e.g.) I can include the VLKs within the install so they automatically activate against my KMS I don't need to distribute source files as they will be downloaded automatically if they are not present 2) I would like to be able to deploy the LTSC versions that we know are unchanging and won't introduce errors from weekly/monthly updates 3) I would like to install 2024, but as that does not include Publisher in the LTSC branch, I would also like to put Publisher from the 2021 LTSC. Please let me know if I'm not being clear on the above. I appreciate the help, but it seems like pulling teeth with a bunch of back and forth and hinting at ways when this could be resolved by a simple answer as to what is or is not possible as well as where I can locate the info to implement based on my criteria. I'm not adverse to reading 10 pages in a thread to figure out, but I have spend quite a bit of time digging through stuff on here and I can only find disjointed answers.
ODT = run setup.exe (restrictions = example Publisher2021 from PerpetualVL2024 = error) and run OfficeClickToRun.exe (without restrictions) = if you use ODT, Office installs OfficeClickToRun.exe only OfficeClickToRun.exe = without restrictions = example install Publisher2021 from PerpetualVL2024 not problem (yet) ODT/KMS and not PerpetualVL2024 channel? https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1863047/
I installed office 365 active with hook but it has not been updated to 24010 it is in version 2409, can someone explain to me why it is not updated to the latest version current channel
The update works normally. What do you have listed here? Regedit HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration
I really appreciate your trying to help, but it feels like you are pointing me in circles to information which I already stated I need clarification on. Your brevity is only causing us to take more time running in circles. I honestly have no idea what you are trying to say above here. Could you take my handicap and help me out with a bit more description? I know that ODT is setup.exe, but I don't know what you are trying to say with "(restrictions = example Publisher2021 from PerpetualVL2024 = error)". If you are trying to point out that this method has restrictions from loading publisher and 2024VL, I know this, which is the whole point of my questions! "OfficeClickToRun.exe = without restrictions" - Yes it seems we have already established that C2R can do this, but my last questions were is there any option for ODT, because C2R has certain problems not being an MSI based install for reasons of removals. You point me here, but I'm still unclear about what you are trying to say in this post. I don't even know if what you are giving me here are two separate options or two steps for a single option? Are you saying I should use ODT to install retail versions and then use integrator or ospp to install VLK licenses? If so, will this in effect have the products on the retail update channel, but be activate them with VLK keys? Thanks again for bearing with me and for everyone here doing the work that Microsoft refuses to do!
MSI? What? What problem? The ODT and OfficeClickToRun.exe methods are based on C2R and what gets installed can also be uninstalled. Install ODT Office retail + install volume licenses with integrator.exe + install volume key with integrator.exe = Office volume with current channel I have exhausted my options for helping you.
