    Thank you for confirming this.
    Microsoft updated its name from Office 365 to Microsoft 365. Will OfficeRTool have a name change to 365RTool? :p

    No. As Office/Visio/Project 2016 is still supported, OfficeRTool's name will stay as is :p.

    Ive used ORT a couple of times the last few days, both times with no trouble. Today it's not launching the install after the install item setup.
    Is it still working for everyone else?


    ***** disregard... it's working now.... ******

    Hi i un-installed previous version of 2019 Pro Plus - as it was about to expire (3 days - un-activated). Ran post clean up Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant - said no install files left.
    Installed fresh install
    ProPlus2019Retail.img - from Office 2019 / Office 365 C2R ISO images - updated 2020-04-28 Version 2002 (Build 12527.20482) - from officecdn.microsoft.com
    Installed OfficeRTool March Release.
    Converting to Retail [C ]- worked
    Start KMS Activation [K] - keeps failing


    Adding KMS activation file exclusions to Windows 10 Defender Exclusion List
    Activating Office 19, Office19ProPlus2019VL_KMS_Client_AE edition
    Activation failed
    __________________________________________________________________________
    Removing KMS activation file exclusions from Windows 10 Defender Exclusion List

    I only have windows defender- stoped Virus and Threat Protection and firewall. .. no idea what to do now.

    You meant "converting to VL - worked"? Because else converting to retail could have caused the KMS activation failure.

    Apologies if this has been covered -- I'm striking out with search. Is there a way to convert / activate the pre-installed Office 365 on a Surface Pro X with Windows on Arm?

    Other reason why activation may have failed:
    Former Office version was not fully removed / cleaned from the system.
    I suggest to use OfficeScrubber from abbodi1406 and redo installation.

    - Uninstalled
    -Ran Office Scrubber as you suggested
    - Used also license removal in the scrubber
    - Reinstall fresh Office 2019 / Office 365 C2R ISO images - updated 2020-04-28 Version 2002 (Build 12527.20482) - from officecdn.microsoft

    If i dont use convert to retail [c] i get now

  14. Try KMS_VL_ALL, it can handle C2R retail office activation.

    I make a Windows10 iso with integratet Office 2019 - it will be installed with the setupcomplete.cmd (yaoctri(r)).
    How to add autoactivation for office 2019 during the installation? (Maybe for win10 too)
     
  17. There is a $OEM$ folder inside this activator, just put it in the Setup folder and call the .cmd in your setupcomplete.cmd:

    I downloaded KMS_VL_ALL_AIO.cmd and add it into my iso to $OEM$....--> Scripts folder where ist the setupcomplete.cmd
    and in this i have the code:

    Code:
    @echo off
    
    call "%WinDir%\Setup\Scripts\YAOCTRIR_Installer.cmd"
    call KMS_VL_ALL_AIO.cmd
    del /q /f "%0"
    Is this correct?

    No, you need to use switches for it to work silent and unattended:
