    That's the correct behavior for this Office suite.
    By the way, can you change the channel to Current and see if all is still working fine? you can always go back.

    Cheers....
     
  3. I've tried that, the banner appears instantly (after reactivation too), switched back to Perpetual2021 VL and the banner disappeared.

    Which app did you use to change the channel?
     
  5. I can reproduce the banner on that build, by the way, make sure any grace key is not installed. If any grace key with the active period is found then banner wouldn't appear. You can use check activation status scripts from KMS_VL_ALL to check that.

    Thank you Windows_Addict,
    I don't know why the banner is NOT appearing on the systems I have converted from 2019 to 2021, they are all "Current" channel. No grace keys or any 2021 related keys. But I use a KMS on an external device (on the local network); if it has any significance!!.

    Thanks, but I am not sure I understand the objective, since the "Current" channel is supposed to give trouble?
    However, here are the results:

    Using OfficeRTool
    Changed Channel to business monthly --> Office 2019 16.0.13929.20408 All is fine
    Changed Channel to Current monthly --> Office 2021 16.0.14026.20270 All is fine

    Using Office Tool Plus
    It requested firewall access to my private network, which I declined.
    Changed Channel to business monthly --> Office 2019 16.0.13929.20408 All is fine
    Changed Channel to Current monthly --> Office 2021 16.0.14026.20270 All is fine

    Office UWP is now getting activated as "Office Mondo 2016", which does not really matter.
    What does matter, is that Office UWP is now throwing a warning claiming that it is not genuine at each launch of one of it's apps, though at least for now, it allows full access without any time restrictions.

    Update: Now it thinks it is Office 365, while showing in the Account pane that it is Office 2016 Mondo, and the store recognizes it as Office 2016.

    Been there, done that :(

    I went straight for LTSC 2021. Works great (for now) and no banners. Tho, time will tell if that changes.

    Cheers....

    This OfficeRTool is amazing. I initially installed Office 2021 Preview but then KMS_VL-ALL suddenly stopped working. It gave an error "Can't convert Retail to VL". SO, I opened OfficeRTool and converted Preview to VL. It succeeded. After that, I activated it using OfficeRTool's KMS activator. It also succeeded. It even converted 2021 Preview to Office 2021. Thanks to the coder or creator of OfficeRTool, whoever you are.

    Hi,

    I can't activate any Office version downloaded from here. It doesn't find anything. I tried VL first, then retail. Retail won't convert either with C2R, says "Could not detect Office ClickToRun service". -.-

    Wth do I need to do??

    Edit: when I open an Office app it says product activated. Didn't even run KMS this last time; downloaded the 2016 standard English retail version. Wtf??
