    No, MTK (and all other KMS solutions) always need Volume License products.
    Unfortunatedly MTK doesn't have a builtin Retail2VL capability for Office 2016.
    You always need abbodi1406's tool or my OfficeRTool.
    You need to know the complete url. No listing possible.

    Thanks for the info. So I need to first use your software to convert license to retail and then use MTK to activate it. Do I need MTK or can your software activate as well. Also can you recommend any forum or cracker that has reliable and safe cracks for various softwares. I heard a lot of negative reviews about couple of them and haven't found a reliable site or forum where the crack is available from the team themselves and not through third party torrents.

    It's meant the other way. You have a RETAIL software license and convert it to VOLUME.
    Only Volume software is able to be activated by KMS.
    You can use any KMS solution you like. OfficeRTool is able to activate, too.

    Can you install office in a directory apart from the default one. I tried to run the setup twice but it didn't give any such option.

    Office Click2Run-setup works as designed by Microsoft.
    Default install path is fixed. There is no way to change it.

    Office 2019 is in all setup packages with major build-number
    greater 10000. So you can use all distribution channels, except
    the Semi-Annual ones. See latest build list on page1, post #6.

    Dogfood_DevMain is internal development channel. This one
    holds the most uptodate builds. But as with most "alpha"
    software, you may experience some bugs.

    Dogfood_DevMain can be selected in OfficeRTool by using
    "m" for "manual override". This will list the "internal use only"
    channels used by MS. Then choose "1".

    I repeat my suggestion for adding two methods of installation and for each to add in the script an instruction to stop the service and the process that I gave and to clear that folder as I wrote. Any method will then be waved

    ClickToRunSvc
    and
    Microsoft Windows Search Filter Host
    they must be stopped first by the script so that the folder can be modified
    C: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ microsoft shared \ ClickToRun

    A new OfficeRTool version (2018/July/24) was released today

    Function "(I) INSTALL OFFICE SUITES OR SINGLE APPS"
    -Enhancement-
    Added selection to use second installation engine "OfficeClickToRun.exe" besides the
    default OfficeDeploymentTool "setup.exe".
    Using "OfficeClickToRun.exe" circumvents restriction in ODT "setup.exe" and reenables
    installation of Office 2019 on Windows 7,8.


    No other changes were made.

    Download-links and checksums in OP were updated.

    Oh! I see! Thanks for clarifying, I didn't add the attribute because it seemed optional reading the docs, the tool was and is working as expected ;)

    the new version has a bug:
    the script ignores the set language in the .ini file and after changing it does not even ask whether to save the changes
