All program modules (Office 2016/2019 SKU's, Visio 2016/2019 SKU's, Project 2016/2019 SKU's) are fully included in every package. That's Click2Run technology install. Does that make sense? Ask Microsoft. Before you can select what to install, you always have to download the whole package as first step. Individual selection of programs to install comes later in the second step.
I'm trying to replace both O2016RTool KMS and KMSPico with KMS_VL_ALL, but can't find a way to uninstall O2016RTool KMS. Is there any guide or steps on how to do it? Thanks!
No permanent KMS "services" or "tasks" are created by OfficeRTool. All is done temporarily on-the-fly. Full OfficeRTool "un-install" = delete folder you extracted it into.
So, option [K] START KMS ACTIVATION just runs a temporary KMS and then I should re-run it every once in a while? Or is KMSPico taking care of reactivations?
Correct. This is exactly how OfficeRTool works. You have to redo [K] manually for a new 180days KMS activation period. Option (A) SHOW CURRENT ACTIVATION STATUS will show remaining KMS period in days and the ending date. If KMS pico full (not portable) was installed, then KMS activation will be automatically renewed by KMSpico.
Just a question. What program is using %OfficeRToolpath%\OfficeFixes\%winx%\WinDivert64.sys all the time? And where is it using it for?
hi , microsoft ofice professional plus 2016 32 bit on win 7 ultimate sp 1 resists every effort(using all kms tools at MDL) to change from trial to VL or Retail or other non trial versions.The question also arises which version of office is this .1014 .1017 .1019.how to know this. drive d was chosen during custom installation,but some files were seen being copied to c drive.in which drive is office installed.the answer is d coz space on c wasnt enough.which tool should be used to convert office from trial to non trial.
Hello I just installed MS Office 2019. How do I make it VL and how to activate it? I used MSToolKit and it didn't work. Thank you...

I'm having a little problem with OfficeRTool (latest): When downloading (current monthly/rtm) and then installing Office2019PP en-US, x64, by selecting OfficeClickToRun installer and having excluded anything but Word/Excel/PP, it'll fail to install after running start_setup.cmd; the installer never starts. By running it from a prompt, it stops after copying c2r files, but they never end up on program files, nor the installation procedes. OTH, performing the same by selecting ODT Setup instead of C2R will launch the installer fine and the install process goes well. (after this, converting to VL with OfficeRTool and activating with good old autokms.exe works perfectly) This is on a W10 17763.1 VM. Does the other method require anything installed prior to using it like a C2R service on the background, or there's a problem between my chair and keyboard? Thanks! PS: Also, there's any way to prevent it from re-installing OneDrive?
Any other (older) Office installed? If YES, then uninstall other Office. Best practice is by using MS-FixIt-Tool. See post #4, section 5 on page 1 of this thread. Be sure to follow recommended steps for a fully cleanup. Thanks for reporting back. Better there is nothing installed which can interfere with a new install. Will look into this.
@ratzlefatz Thanks for your great tool, I can confirm this working on Win81-x64 (with x64 C2R). 1. One comment for possible further optimization: Why does it download each language into separate directories, wasting bandwidth and storage space for large neutral files like "stream.(x64|x86).x-none.dat"? Putting all languages into a single directory seems to work just fine - as long as "package.info" file is modied according to the respecitive language or start_setup.cmd is edited with a static language variable. 2. (Edit): The tool could prevent installing x86 C2R on x64 Windows as this not only doesn't work, but it completely screws up your system.
