I have a simple question: In order for Office 2016 to stay activated via KMS, does it have to be connected to the internet? I plan to put Office 2016 on a computer but that computer will be permanently offline. I know it has to re-activate itself every 180 days via the KMS server. Will I lose the activation if it can never connect to the internet? Thanks!
Thank you for this excellent tool and the very helpful thread. I am new to this KMS method of Office activation and was wondering about the best method to get both English and Spanish language packs into Office 2016? I have followed the tool and downloaded and installed the latest Mondo en-US from Retail branch. I am curious after the installation am I able to add Spanish language pack, or change Windows 10 language to Spanish? I've searched for Spanish in the thread and I see something about installing Office vxnet to get multiple language packs but I'm not positive on how to do it exactly. The how-to is so detailed in the first post that I'm wondering if there are similar steps for getting both English and Spanish language in Office 2016? Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks very much. I was also wondering if I use [K] option to use O2106RTool built-in KMS activation, does this activate Office permanently? Will it automatically reactivate every 180 days with a script? Is it connecting to internet KMS server? How can verify that Office will stay activated?
No. Each KMS-activation (as designed by Microsoft) is valid only for 180 days. No. You have to take care for yourself. But pressing [K] once in 180 days is not a big deal. You can do this whenever you want and it will be activated again for another 180 days. No. Internet connection is not needed. All is running local on your PC. - start Command-Prompt - enter (copy/paste) the following command if Office 2016 - 32bit/x86 was installed on 64bit Windows: Code: cscript "C:\program files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs" /dstatus | find /I "remaining" or - enter (copy/paste) the following command if Office 2016 - 64bit/x64 was installed on 64bit Windows: - enter (copy/paste) the following command if Office 2016 - 32bit/x86 was installed on 32bit Windows: Code: cscript "C:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs" /dstatus | find /I "remaining" After (o)ffice(s)oftware(p)rotection(p)latform = "ospp" has finished some internal checks, it will show the remaining days before Office activation expires.
Thanks for the detailed info. On my computer I can definitely run [K] every 180 days, that is only 2 times per year. I am also trying to set up Office 2016 on a friend's laptop but they are not very technical or might forget to run [K]. I'd rather not use internet KMS server IP that might go down or become unreachable. For this situation would you recommend KMS_VL_ALL_SppExtComObjPatcher (by abbodi1406) from post #3 for local KMS activation with automatic renewal? From Readme it says: Do you think the automatic renewal of KMS_VL_ALL_SppExtComObjPatcher is a good option to add to O2016RTool?
This is a fine, clever script. No objection from my site if you want to use it for activation. Be aware / Don't forget, that you must convert Office from Retail to Volume first. At the present moment there already exist automatic solutions such as KMS_VL_ALL, Microsoft Toolkit or KMSpico and they activate Windows and Office 2016 together in one single run. So if you need a good working automatic solution, then use one of these activators. O2016RTool will be the background helper for download, setup and conversion.
