That leaves the question: Normally there's no need, so for what reason MS introduces this new "KMS_Client_AE" for ProPlus which needs a new GVLK?
Thanks for the app/tutorial. Everything works fine. Apart from the fact that I haven't found a way to change the installation folder. Everything's obviously being installed on my C drive and I don't want that. How can this be changed?
Sorry, but you can't change installation folder. For some unknown reasons, Microsoft decided preset installation-path to be fixed to "%SystemDrive%\Program Files" resp. "%SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)". There is no way to circumvent this.
Just take OfficeRTool. Function (D) DOWNLOAD OFFICE OFFLINE INSTALL PACKAGE (M) "Manual Override" - Then use (1) for DevMain.

anyone able to activate? I already Download, Install, Convert but I keep getting failed to activate in the OfficeRTool KMS server.
Win10 Retail (RTM) or Win10 Insider? Activation problems are known on Win10 Insider, look here and here (and the following posts). Activation on Windows 10 Retail is working well. Infos how to deal with activation problems are shown in post #5, on page 1 of this thread. For details, scroll down and read section: (K) START KMS ACTIVATION "No Instance(s) Available", no successful activation or other license activation failures...
It's Windows 10 Retail. I already follow all the steps how to fix but still can't get it work. So no idea what I did wrong. Use internal OfficeRTool KMS server (1/0)? >1 Adding KMS activation file exclusions to Windows 10 Defender Exclusion LIst ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Activating Office 16, Office16WordVL_KMS_Client edition Activation failed.
Did you get a message from your Antivirus, when you extracted OfficeRTool from 7z-archive and saved it to disk? Could be, AV (falsely!) detected some files and put them in quarantine. Disable AV completely and extract OfficeRTool again. Then retry KMS-activation.
only Windows 10 Defender. No message from anti virus or anything.. Even I disable Windows 10 Defender, extract the OfficeRTool again and I still can't activate.
is there any way to activate office 2016. I tried to restore my backup but still failed. Any help please?
