if i clicked on the kmvs_all icon on the dowload it just shows a window for brief moment then it closes, i still need the product key when using office and the activate windows watermark is still here windows defender firewall is off and i dont have any antivirus installed
I'm aware of what I have and what file name is, thanks for reclarifying it anyway. Is it possible to activate Retail via KSM without using C2R-R2V? Thanks.
@abbodi1406 So it's controlled by telemetry registrys? On the same vmware try I did not change any settings or registry. Today I booted the vmware again: Internet is connected, I started Word again -> now old Ribbon, started multiple time -> still old Ribbon I disabled Internet and started Powerpoint multiple times -> always new Ribbon I reenable Internet and started Powerpoint multiple times again -> now always old Ribbon So today my expectation are fulfilled with step 5, that the old Ribbon will be loaded after changing License and enable internet what did not happen yesterday... Still one thing for sure: Something is checking on internet and decide to load new or old Ribbon, but the way when and why is completly random. Anyone knows the details and how to avoid switching back to old Ribbon? Sorry for my first world problem, but it's something I am really interested in.
@fkstabizler yes, telemetry is key part Office 365 features are randomly working without actual Office 365 subscription
Installing Office 2016 Mondo with the update channel Dogfood :: DevMain id=EA4A4090-DE26-49D7-93C1-91BFF9E53FC3 installs the notorious new ribbon and it does not switch to the old ribbon, although the icons in the new ribbon Project 2016 Professional (Mondo) still have the old look, but I think it's a matter of time, rather in the future with the new builds it will be fixed.
I converted with C2R-Retail2Volume and activated via KMS_VL_ALL, and these are all activated under Mondo 2016 - great and thanks. I see 365 specific features like "Morph" is present in PowerPoint, but is it possible to get the Excel intelligence "ideas" working with Mondo? EDIT: Tried several channel types but got the Ideas function by using OfficeRTool to change channel to Monthly_Channel_Targeted (Office Insider SLOW).
Hey Guys, got Office 2019 Pro Plus now installed and activated, after some try&error. Anyway, Local KMS Activation done with latest Office RTool. Is there any way to automatically re-activate with RTool or anything else after the 180 day period? I mean it's no biggy running RTool manually again, but if its possible to automate this process it'd be great. Thanks for any help, polford
Interesting... I tried several times and obviously got an error, because it trys to activate online. After pressing repair it crash and than... "worked"(?) and said, I can use until 11th february. So... today... After several restartings, I have back the new Ribbon, but the license still says Mondo 2016 (which is propably good, because for Auto KMS). Is this correct? What is this key you posted? And I don't understand the regedit tutorial for the new Ribbon. Before the new Ribbon, excel said at Expires: int64_t|1549898064 Now it has the new Ribbon and it says: int64_t|1549916605 So... when I put this in a Unix time converter, I should have the new Ribbon for about.... one hour from now on รด.o wtf is wrong with Microsoft. EDIT: I was able to reproduce it on another PC. First try -> error, I had to click repair -> successful activation until "today". Starting programs several times and -> new Ribbons. I started Check-Activation-Status.cmd by abbodi1406 and there are now 2 entrys. The first says: Code: LICENSE NAME: Office 16, Office16O365ProPlusR_Grace edition LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 16, RETAIL(Grace) channel BETA EXPIRATION: 01.01.1601 LICENSE STATUS: ---NOTIFICATIONS--- ERROR CODE: 0xC004F009 ERROR DESCRIPTION: The Software Licensing Service reported that the grace period expired. Last 5 characters of installed product key: VMFTK the second is the activated Mondo License. So maybe the program is now fooled, thinking to be an O365, but activated with other license? If that is the solution... sure, why not I will see if I still have the new Ribbons for tomorrow. Thank you very much.
I am curious as to why the evaluation copy of the ISO link isn't on here, unless you can't use that? ...and I'm not going to read all 156 pages to find the answer if there is even one....search term doesn't bring back anything so I guess it hasn't yet been discussed.... Also, is it necessary to disable telemetry on this? Can't be that bad, can it....? Woops wrong thread topic....
We all know, that there a many/different ways to activate Office. I use OfficeRTool for activate Office with Mondo license and after that I insert Retail-license Key - ended with -VMFTK (without any error message, but also not a validation message, the window only has getting closed). So that is exactly the way we have to go (if you want new ribbon): 1. Activate Office with Mondo-license 2. Insert Retail-license Key -VMFTK 3. Keeping both licenses*...the Mondo license for using Office 180 days period and Retail-license for "thinking" beeing Office 365 and provide new ribbon (it doesn't matter if the license has expired). 4. If you don't insert the Retail-License -VMFTK, you never will get the new ribbon. *Following this way, I don't miss any Office 365 features besides. I am very sure, that you will have the new ribbon also tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and...
2 days passed, all fine Thank you again. My steps was: Install Office 365 ProPlus with OfficeRTool, run C2R-R2V_8 and KMS_VL_ALL-SppExtComObjPatcher-kms-29 and than the steps mentioned in my other posts. In my opinion, it should be included in Retail2VL converters when Office 365 installation is detected on the system, to have both licenses. Anyway, now I know how to.
I've been away for a long time. I'm currently using the VL version of office 2016 that I downloaded when it came out, but it seems this variant does not get the feature updates that the C2R variant (or whatever it's called) gets; only stability, bug fixing and security updates. I want to download and install the C2R office 2016 offline (keep the files for future use) but honestly cannot make heads and tails of all the info on the forum. I'm using windows 7. I tried the OfficeRTool but the download option seems to download the latest 16.0.11231.20174 version. That's 2019, right? AFAIK office 2019 is not compatible with 7. How do I download the 2016 C2R version? P.S. My internet connection has a small monthly quota, so I'm trying to avoid having to re-download large files. EDIT: If I download one of MS' official 2016 C2R ISOs, is there a way to customize the installation with the XML method?
