Does YAOCTRI supports LTSC 2021? i run YAOCTRI configurator but the choices doesnt seems to support office 2021. thanks in advance.
Got everything back to "normal", so it seems that, on my machine, version 2105 is where all the mess begins with the invalid/non-genuine license banner/window. When starting an app, it comes up as "Office 365" but shows "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 (got that before). Chk'd for updates yesterday and one was downloaded. My office is now at version 2104 (13929.20408 Click-to-Run). Which brings up another question. I tried for another update today and shows no updates available. Since Version 2105 seems to cause the banner to return and, as you state above, 2105 is required to go to Office 2021, how do I get there? Is this still an update channel issue? Or do I just wait until 2021 is released and do the upgrade at that point? As always, appreciate the help and support.....
I still do not think your problem is unsolvable, but as I mentioned earlier, you need to be above build 14xxx.xxxxx (2105 means 2021 May), Office 16.0.14026.20270 is already out. I also mentioned that there are 3 different licenses circulating for Office 2021. By the way, are you using en-US or another language? Not that it matters; but incase it is relevant. If you go through the posts you will find everything is already mentioned, I would advise you run through them again. Please notice, Perform any change while office is closed, and to see the effect open Office and close it twice.
Appreciate the reminder to "RTFM" again I am running English (American, not British Thanks and cheers.....
I am running Office en-US 16.0.14026.20270 (Current Chanel) converted from Retail to Volume and activated by a remote KMS / Windows 10 19043.1052 activated with a digital license and all is fine. Download Abbodi's OfficeScrubber_5f and use the scripts inside to remove licenses and reset them, then use the repair option from Control Panel, you should end up with Office 2019 Retail, use a tool to convert it to Volume, then use the Licenses to upgrade to 2021, then activate. And do not forget to set /skms and /sethst to the same IP address. In theory, the above should work, but make sure that you use recent tools (some licenses have been updated). But if it does not work, I would suspect that you may have "previously" used a local activation and you are trying with remote activation without removing the previous one. Meaning, you have two activation methodologies at work in the same time!! If such is the case, find it and remove it. Check this post, it is not too long: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/discussion-microsoft-office-ltsc-2021.83412/
OK. All is finally good. Cleared/cleaned license and activation, did a quick repair, reinstalled licenses and went for the 2021 LTSC Preview and activated with KMS. All seems to be doing well. I'll know better when I shut down/reboot tomorrow morning. Thanks again for the patience and support. Cheers....
Great news, it just confirms the anticipation of how the process works. For every one else's benefit, is it possible to which part of the procedure was not performed well?
I am not sure what step 5 achieves? C2R-R2V-AIO and KMS_VL_ALL_AIO perform all the necessary processes (assuming the latest versions). Can you confirm that you were using the statement " "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\root\integration\integrator.exe" or a similar one in your previous attempts? If you have activated Office 2019, then upgraded to Office 2021 and activated it, you will find that that Office 2019 is already activated if you decide to remove 2021 licenses and the opposite is applicable. Consider the activation is for the license! Anyway, nice to see it is working for you.
So I have converted the preinstalled trial of Microsoft 365 office to VL, now it starts all programs without asking for the activation. Can I just live it as a VL without actually activating? How is it going to affect its usability? Furthermore, by using the KMS emulator, it won't affect my genuine Windows 10 Pro license, is it correct?
Check the status of Office --> File --> Account ? You don't have to do anything if all is working fine. Probably because you may be using Preview License. Activating using KMS would not affect Windows Digital License.
Booted this morning and everything (in Office) looks like it's still functioning. Yep. Figured Step 5 was redundant but does not seem to have caused any problems by using it. I do remember after clearing all the licenses I activated *only* 2021 using Office Tool Plus so the 2019 license must come along with the activation. Like you state, if I had downloaded a 2021 preview to start with rather than migrating/upgrading from 2019, I may be seeing only 1 license. I do not remember specifically executing that statement. So, unless it was included in 1 of the script files I used, this would be my 1st time using it. Other notes: * When I bring up an app like Word, the flash screen says only Word, no Office or 365 is displayed. * I haven't done a deep dive comparison, but it looks like the UI is different enough (from 2019) to notice it. I also believe I see additional functions available I don't remember seeing in 2019. And it does say Word (or Excel or...) Preview at the top of the screen once the app is running. * Version states it's 2104 13929.20408 Click-to-Run. This must be from 2019? I tried doing a manual update but it tells me it's up to date. Maybe that will change in a bit. Again, thanks and cheers.....

You can try changing the links manually (OfficeRTool) or reinstalling Office.
I have always been running "Current / Monthly" for years, I did have the "non-genuine banner" issue few weeks back. But then I sorted it on three different systems, which gave me different challenges. I have already documented this, unfortunately in different threads. Having said the above, this may or may not continue. Which means I may have to change Office Update Path to a different channel, which is not complex. In the mean time, I am continuing with the Current Channel. My MSO version is: 2021 (Build 16.0.14026.20270) 64-bit
