    "...Office 2019 (arriving in the second half of 2018)..." Still enough time to think about it ;)

    Means: If Office 2019 can be integrated in O201xRTool then a name change should be considered to reflect this.

    Hello guys....I m in a bit of a fix.....

    I was using office 2007 on win-10 and had to reset the system for some reason....it removed a lot of things including office 2007 (activated using Microsoft tool kit sometime back), I just downloaded officer 2016 from...arch.rpi.edu/assets/...it is a volume vesion....SW_DVD5_Office_Professional_Plus_2016_64Bit_English_MLF_X20-42432.ISO.....

    Now the problem i face is how to activate this and with what.....I would prefer some thing more simple as I am not from a tech background.....and there are so many post and replys (in hundereds..) that I sometimes get lost in there....

    It would be a great help if someone might just point me in the right direction....basically I have 3 questions....

    Should i first install office 2016..offline or online
    Then while activating will it be better to be online or offline
    What sould i use...M-Toolkit.... or go with..... O2016RTool ....or use something else?

    Many Thanks in advance....

    You successfully used MTK, so it seems no further action is needed.

    That's KMS_VL_ALL output regarding Windows activation. But normally it should state "Windows permanently activated".
    To me it looks like license files are corrupted.
    See this post how to deal with it.

    And I'm seeing from other thread you tested VLSC Volume version, too:
    You are sure, you did a complete Office removal by using Office-FixIt-Tool to avoid mix installs?

    Unfortunatedly uninstall doesn't cleanup Office software protection license files.
    Did you try to remove (and recreate) tokens.dat licence file as suggested?
    This procedure is for Windows 7 only.

    For Windows 8/10 look in post #5 and scroll down to chapter '(K) Start KMS activation'

    Need to admit i stand corrected. Not sure what the VM machines problem was, the tool works as promoted :good3:. Tested flawlessly on a friends machine with Win 10 1703 and ProPlus full install.

    A new O2016RTool version (2017/October/09) was released today

    Changes (Only valid if O2016RTool is running on Server 2016 or Windows 10):
    - If MS-Defender Antivirus is active and running, O2016RTool temporarily creates exclusions in MS-Defender for all needed KMS activation files.
    - After KMS activation is finished, these exclusions are removed. MS-Defender will be back in its original state.

    No other changes were made.

    Silent Update:
    Just detected in Powershell documentation: Windows Defender Powershell CMDLets are valid for Server 2012R2 and Windows 8.1, too.
    O2016RTool is now able to configure MS-Defender running on Windows 10 AND Windows 8.1.


    Download-links and checksums in OP were updated.

    Hello. I did several searches for an answer to this but couldn't find any similar posts. I apologize if this has already been answered elsewhere.

    I used the O2016RTool to install C2R ProPlus, choosing about half of the programs to install. Office shows my current version is 16.0.8431.2046, and has shown that version for several months. When I click to install updates, I get the window that shows updates were found and they are downloading. Then I get a very brief window showing updates are installing, then a window saying updates were installed. If I click to update Office again, it says I have the latest version. But my version number has not changed since the original installation.

    So.....am I updated to the latest version with the latest security fixes?

    Thank you for all replies.

    Post #6 - Current Version List shows: "Monthly Channel" version is: 16.0.8431.2107
    This is what O2016RTool get's offered by MS-Office content delivery servers as latest "Monthly" version.

    But the update servers config seems to be not uptodate.

    I tested the following:
    - used (U) CHANGE OFFICE UPDATE-PATH (SWITCH DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL) in O2016RTool.
    - Selected "Monthly channel":
    Possible Office 2016 Update-Channel ID VALUES:
    1 = Monthly_Channel (Retail/RTM)

    - Entered "1" und allowed changes.
    This sets correct configuration values and starts update.
    After installation has finished, I looked in O2016RTool at (A) SHOW CURRENT ACTIVATION STATUS.
    Source Distribution channel, activation info and version/build-no are shown.
    But the prior installed Monthly-build 16.0.8431.2107 was now downgraded to 16.0.8431.2046.

    We already experienced such missbehaviour of the update servers. I suggest to test during the next
    days. I will do the same. Update will work, when the servers are properly configured/synchronized.

    Results (10/12/2017):
    Just finished some tests....
    Insider Channel (Insider FAST) and Semi-Annual Channel (Business) are working OK.
    New Install version/build-numbers and Update version/build-numbers are equal.
    Now look here:
    Same build (New Install .2107). Update (downgrade) is identical, but other build (.2046).
    Coincidence? Maybe. At least it looks strange...
    Code:
                                                        New Install:    Update ( = Downgrade ):
    Monthly / Current Channel (Retail/RTM):             16.0.6431.2107  16.0.6431.2046
    Semi-Annual Channel Targeted (Business Insider):    16.0.6431.2107  16.0.6431.2046
    
    Monthly Channel Targeted (Insider SLOW):            16.0.8528.2136  16.0.8528.2126
    
    Results (10/13/2017):
    New Install 16.0.8528.2137 available for Monthly Channel Targeted (Insider Slow).
    Releases .2126/.2136/.2137 in very short time scales. But Update is still on .2126.

    Monthly Channel and Semi-Annual Channel Targeted: Update still delivers .2046.

    Sigh.... MS really needs more manpower for just in time configuring their update servers.

    Just for sh*ts and giggles, I switched channels to Insider Fast. Downloaded and changed channels no problem with the correct version installed. Then I switched back to Monthly/Retail. Downloaded and channel changed. Back to 2046.

    It is a little more 'complicated' than I thought . There are 2 versions in one :doh::

    Monthly_8431.2107.png


    O2016RTool always reports the same build-number in functions:

    (A) SHOW CURRENT ACTIVATION STATUS and
    (U) CHANGE OFFICE UPDATE-PATH (SWITCH DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL)

    as listed in "About" window and this is wrong in all these cases!
    For example: Installed "Monthly" version is NOT .2046 as shown above in "About", but .2107

    OK Microsoft, you didn't change version info in "About". I will see, how I to deal with this....
    In the meantime: If someone is worried about the version, look Control Panel - Programs and Features.

    A new O2016RTool version (2017/October/14) was released today

    Error correction:
    Changed source for retrieving Office version/build-number.
    O2016RTool will now show correct version of installed Office.
    This will clear the missleading info reported in above posts.

    No other changes were made.

    I downloaded it, but for some reason it does not work. Must be a server problem. A file is missing error appears.
