@Windows_Addict ah ok i thought converting to vl was reverting to perpetual channel Thanks for explains
Hi All I used Office Tool Plus to build Office Professional Plus 2021, I am confused about the update Channel I chose Current Channel will the updates then appear via Windows Update? What is the difference between Current Channel and Office 2021 Perpetual Enterprise ? Thanks for any info.
Please, is there somewhere the original checksums for the Office 2021 images (sha256)? Could anyone post a link, please? I cannot find these :-(
I'm just confirming that I have the best option for my situation. I use vlmcs for my KMS server. I prefer to use only MS products that can be activated via a KMS server. I do this for two main reasons: 1) Once KMS is setup (including DNS entries), I don't need to do anything else to activate products. After install they are simply activated. Additionally, they renew their activations automatically and never need to be manually "re-registered" 2) I prefer to not have to run other tools and scripts on my stations since I don't want to have to vet them all individually and/or wonder about the possibility they might compromise something. I have installed the latest 2021 LTSC using the ODT. In my config file I provide the GVLK for all products (Office, Visio, Project). Everything installs well and appears properly activated. Reports as: Version 2108 (Build 14332.20255 Click-to-Run) ospp shows: SKU ID: fb61ac9a-1688-45d2-8f6b-0674dbffa33c LICENSE NAME: Office 21, Office21VisioPro2021VL_KMS_Client_AE edition LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 21, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel LICENSE STATUS: ---LICENSED--- SKU ID: fbdb3e18-a8ef-4fb3-9183-dffd60bd0984 LICENSE NAME: Office 21, Office21ProPlus2021VL_KMS_Client_AE edition LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 21, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel LICENSE STATUS: ---LICENSED--- SKU ID: fc7c4d0c-2e85-4bb9-afd4-01ed1476b5e9 LICENSE NAME: Office 19, Office19ProjectPro2019XC2RVL_KMS_ClientC2R edition LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 19, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel I just wanted to verify that this all looks correct and that this is the best (if not only) option for me considering I want to use KMS. I assume I should get updates as normal? What is difference in the "AE edition" and "ClientC2R edition" between the products? They were all installed via ODT.
Office uninstall doesn't remove the office licenses from tokens.dat, to completely remove the office license you either need to rebuild the token file or run cleanospp.exe file (available in KMS_VL_ALL) Yes, there won't be any issues in updates and you won't get office not genuine notification if Office 2021 VL is installed via ODT (with perprtualVL2021 update channel)
Just to clarify, I did relaunch the apps and got the above error when I tried to do so. So did you mean run the repair or the reinstall? Because just trying to launch the apps was unsuccessful.
Relaunching office apps fixes the license missing issue, unless there is some other issue too. In the next step, you can use the repair option (in add and remove programs) to install the correct license and keys.
