    You need to use a KMS activator like KMS_VL_ALL

    And is it possible to have Office activated automatically with my own original key and if so, how?

    Thanks. Also..
    1) how do Microsoft 365 Enterprise & Office ProPlus 2019 differ?
    2) will KMS_VL_ALL activate either suite?

    Can't tell, never used the 365 Enterprise version.
    Probably, as long as it is VL and no UWP version, it's not mentioned in the supported or unsupported products in its readme.

    No response from anyone. I'll need to use another download tool besides OfficeRTool. I will have to do software elimination to see which applications prevent OfficeRTool from launching.

    I managed to capture this error message as to why OfficeRTool is closing on me.

    Sorry, but I can't reproduce your error. Seems one of your security programs (Malwarebytes, Avast)
    is not fully disabled (or has not correct exclusions for OfficeRTool) and interferes here.

    Someone else having this "cmd" not recognized/found error at startup?

    Can you guide me where %temp%GetAdmin.vbs & %temp%GetAdminUnicode.vbs is located on my computer??

    FYI - I've completely removed Comodo Firewall, Avast AV & Malwarebytes and OfficeRTool still fails to launch. I've disabled windows Defender too and same problem. WTF. This is also a clean install of windows 10 so not sure what to troubleshoot further.

    Both files are temporarily created in your Temp-folder.
    and they are later deleted. They check that OfficeRTool
    is started in an admin-elevated cmd-shell.
    To change into this folder enter in Command-shell the command:
    Code:
    CD /D "%temp%"
    
    Edit OfficeRTool.cmd and add a new line between line 13 and 14. Then insert
    the command "GOTO:GotAdmin" (without " ") in created new line.
    The section should look like this:
    Code:
    ::===============================================================================================================
    GOTO:GotAdmin
        fltmc >nul 2>&1
    
    Save the changes.
    Then start OfficeRTool.cmd by right-clicking -> run as administrator

    This will bypass check for admin-rights and OfficeRTool should start.

    I've included the below line as shown :
    ::=====================
    :: CHECK ADMIN RIGHTS
    ::=====================
    GOTO:GotAdmin
    fltmc >nul 2>&1
    if "%errorlevel%" NEQ "0" (goto:UACPrompt) else (goto:GotAdmin)
    ::=====================
    ::=====================
    RESULT:
    'powershell' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.
    Check Internet connection and/or Channel-ID.


    Did I insert the code correctly? I've Elevated the command by right click "run as admin" too.

    Yes, all good, but...
    Before you did the change we got the error:
    'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    Now we have:
    'powershell' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.


    Seems there is something seriously wrong with your %path% configuration.
    Please post output of the command:
    Code:
    echo %path%
    Output will be something like this:
    C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Users\(username.removed)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApp

    You Mean under Environment Variables?

    Under "User Variables for First - John Doe":
    Path --> %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps
    Temp--> %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp

    upload_2020-9-24_21-53-13.png
    Also under path under System Variables shows: C:\Users\John Doe\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps

    @maxama123 :
    Check System variables Path setup:

    It MUST contain as first ones those entries:

    C:\Windows\system32
    C:\Windows
    C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
    C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0

    If not, enter all of them at the beginning and try again.
    If there is further action needed, we'll continue by Private
    Mail now. This is a Windows-, not a Office-problem.

    Woo hoo OfficeRTool now Works :clap::clap3:. It's baffling that it's a clean Windows 10 install and every installed program I have works, all except OfficeRTool. I do not know how "System Variables" was missing those paths. Big "Thank you" to you and Appreciate your help ratzlefatz - You're amazing.

    Hi to all, sorry in advance if my questions were already answered before...

    Today I was asked to install a few Office Pro Plus 2016 suites, with a provided MAK key.
    I used YAOCTRI to configure and install, then I thought I could use C2R-R2V to convert to Volume.
    1st problem, it seems to convert 2016 to 2019, and therefore my key is not accepted (your key belongs to ...2016 VL that is not installed )

    Finally, someone was able to send me original VLSC ISO. Under pressure, I did not configure, nor use the ODT (nor even think), so all applications were installed (team, skype etc.).
    Strangely the MAK key still did not work, but using C2R-R2V again, this time it converted to the right edition !?! (2016 -> 2016), and so activated successfully.
    I believed sources were all the same for 2016 and 2019? (so I could install any edition with the same source files) or I am missing something?
    Asked differently, how many (same language) ISOs do I need to cover the different scenarios (2016 to 2019)?

    Next question is: can I use YAOCRTI (I find it to be the easiest/fastest way) to configure and install this 2016 suite (with client key)
    I guess I could also edit the .xml manually? and/or launch setup.exe /setup file.xml from cmd...What is the easiest way?

    Last question but not the least, I have been struggling a lot lately with Office not installing on w10 (I think v1904), progress bar stuck.
    I first believed that could be due to .net framework updates waiting, but today I had the problem with "up to date" w10 machines.
    C2R UI loads but stays stuck, "progress bar" will never pass 50%. Tried to wipe, scrub, all possible tactics.

    Finally, on all 6 W10 laptops I did today, all with SSD, last installation process took about 20-25 minutes on each, while on my system it takes like 45 seconds
    The only difference is I'm on 1809 and those were latest w10, also all were OEM PCs with "Office Web" (something like this) preinstalled
    Maybe I should not uninstall Office Web, or scrub before ? What could be the problem?

    In short, I struggled hours to install 6 time office, with teams and onedrive as a bonus:D:D:D

    Isn't MAK considered a retail key? And if yes, you can try with YAOCTRIR (YAOCTRI already installs office with VL licenses by default).
