    Is it possible for me to Leave O365 alone and only convert C2R VisioStdRetail to Volume?

    Perhaps I can't find the setting in OfficeRTool, but is there a way to set where Office installs? I really don't want it on my C: drive.

    I have a problem with activating my Office with your OfficeRTool. The message I get when trying to activate:


    Use internal OfficeRTool KMS server (1/0)? >1

    Adding KMS activation file exclusions to Windows 10 Defender Exclusion List
    ____________________________________________________________________________
    No Instance(s) Available.
    No Instance(s) Available.
    Activation failed
    ____________________________________________________________________________

    Removing KMS activation file exclusions from Windows 10 Defender Exclusion List


    I followed the ReadMe file and none of the solutions work for me so far. Any help would be appreciated.

    First of all, thank you for providing this script. I like the KISS philosophy.

    I only ran into a small issue when trying to install a Volume License (Office - Install VL ) for a 32-bit Office installed on a 64-bit version of Windows.

    When the script runs this line:

    Code:
    echo Installing VL, please wait...
    "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\root\integration\integrator.exe" /I /License PRIDName=%product%.16 PidKey=%pidkeys% >nul
    
    that command cannot be executed since it is not found. The %ProgramFiles% variable is expanding to the 64-bit Program Files directory, on the other hand, the Office itself is installed in the 32-bit Program Files directory.

    Changing from %ProgramFiles% to %ProgramFiles(x86)% solved the problem, but I think it's just a dirty workaround.

    I resolved it by reactivating Windows 10 then reactivating Office 2019; it worked immediately.

    It may have been caused by the user connecting to his Microsoft Account before activating Office, I guess Abbodi may be a better person to shed light on this issue.

    Edit:
    I'm not so sure I converted from Retail from Volume... Might have missed that step, can't check for another 10 hours.


    Hm, that would still be new.
    I encountered exactly the same problem today with a freshly set up Win10 (1809, 17763.55), using a Microsoft-Account to login. Office365 in question is 16.0.10827.20181_de-DE_x64_Monthly_Channel.

    Never before that combination has been a problem, now the activation suddenly fails and Office is in grace period. Two machines that have been running for some months haven't been affected so far, despite being on latest Office365-Versions (~70 days left).

    "Something" definitely changed. :)

    The problem faced was also on the same setup as above (initially), Office Pro Plus 2019 monthly on a fresh with ONLY Windows 17763.55 then connected to the owner's Microsoft account (the device has a digital license)!! I tried removing (cleaning) Office Pro Plus and installing/activating Pro Plus Insider Fast, to no avail. I performed few hours of testing including installing 3 Windows 10 virtual machines 17134, 17763 and 18252 (without updates) but all went without a problem.

    Initially, I suspected 17763.55 update, but Office 2019 Pro Plus activates if installed after the update. Hence, I thought I will reinitialize Windows 10 license and try re-activating, which worked.

    Update: I installed Windows and linked it MS account, then installed Office 2019, converted to VL and activated and all went well !!.

    P.S. I did not try activating with network disconnected due to the computer being remotely controlled. I remember facing problems with activating Windows if the computer has an active VPN or other sorts of remote connections.

    It could be the WinDivert bypass

    for me, it doesn't always work

    Did I convert to Volume? Did I?! :confused:
    Thinking about it, I'm not so sure I did press C... What would be the consequences - "no instances available"?

    Can't check right now, unit is remote, but I'm flagging my own post "suspicious". ^^

    I would like some clarification on Tool usage, can anyone help please?
    1. The Tool can download a install package, user choice as to version, and architecture, You must set location for this package? (It can be Drive or drive and folder on drive)

    2. Once downloaded, or if you already have a ISO of 2019 office, you can use the tool to install, or just install from a mounted ISO if you have one?

    3.You can, or cannot, convert to Volume until a install is taken place? The Command "C" looks for installed versions on the machine you wish to activate Office (2019 or 2016) on, and if there is an un-activated retail version, it will convert to volume? The pathway does not need to be set for Conversion, it locates an installed version, when this option is chosen? (the tool cannot convert a mounted ISO of 2019 OFFICE retail to Volume before it used for AN installation?)

    4. Once the the un-activated version is Volume it can then be activated with the OfficeRTool or MTKV2.64?
