KMS activation lasts for a period of 180 days (~6 Months). Could be, your activation period has come to its end. You can use OfficeRTool's function [A] SHOW CURRENT ACTIVATION STATUS to check. It will show KMS activation period end date. If it has ended, renew activation for another 180 days KMS period by starting KMS_VL_ALL again. KMS_VL_ALL normally creates a sheduled task for automatic renewal, but it seems it failed somehow. Did you (re)move/delete KMS_VL_ALL folder/files? Another candidate for blocking activation is Antivirus program. Check AV scanning log and create exclusions for all files and folders used by KMS_VL_ALL. I'm pretty sure Antivirus is responsible here. During the last months they got updates to take very aggressive actions against "not quite legal" KMS activation solutions.
A new OfficeRTool version (2018/January/07) was released today Change: Tool's name changed from "O2016RTool" to "OfficeRTool". Unpack-Password changed, too. Enhancement: Installation of Office 2019 ProPlus Retail Preview, Visio 2019 Pro Retail Preview and Project 2019 Pro Retail Preview from Office Insider FAST distribution channel package is possible now. Installed Office 2019 Retail versions will have a limited activation after first start: PRODUCT ID: 00398-30000-00000-AA468 SKU ID: c3b2612d-58ee-4d9b-ad9d-7568decb29f7 LICENSE NAME: Office 19, Office19ProPlus2019R_PrepidBypass edition LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 19, RETAIL(Free) channel BETA EXPIRATION: 12/31/2018 3:59:59 PM LICENSE STATUS: ---LICENSED--- ERROR CODE: 0x4004FC05 (for information purposes only as the status is licensed) ERROR DESCRIPTION: The Software Licensing Service reported that the application has a perpetual grace period.

New OfficeRTool will be released, as soon as official Office 2019 GVLK-keys are available.
Today, 1805 pushed to Semi-Annual Channel, is there anyway to make office stick with 1705? I mean instead of updating it to 8431.2153, make it go to 8201.2217
Internal Office Update always loads newest available version in particular channel for install. You could download a new setup package using OfficeRTool. In download-dialogue don't accept offered (newest) Build. Just enter 16.0.8201.2217 to fix version for download. After install, disable updates in File->Account->Update Options. Attendum: I'm just thinking about, if it may work to add a fixed build number to function (U) CHANGE OFFICE UPDATE-PATH (SWITCH DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL) If you select the same distribution channel you could up-/downgrade to every build-number you like. Let me play a little with this idea...
Hello I'm totally newbie and do not know almost nothing about computer...Someone before activated MS Office Professional Plus 2016 for me but now that person is far away and do not know what to do. I'm totally confused here in sea of some aberrations I do not know what they mean and I'm afraid I would do easily something wrong. Can somebody help me please what is easiest way to activate MS Office Professional Plus 2016 again? So I have it installed already and it worked until yesterday and I can't write in word any more. Thank you a lot Btw, on Internet I found there are some activators but most of them see virus and I'm afraid to download and run them...
The newbie friendly activation solution -> KMS_VL_ALL. If you are unsure or have further questions about activation there is support -> here. Download, unpack und start file "KMS_VL_ALL.cmd". Fully automatic. Always load here from MDL, then there is NO virus included. But to mention: Antivirus-programs declare "not quite legal" activation solutions (such as KMS_VL_ALL) as potential virus/hack-tool. This is a false positive. I say it twice: if you load them here from links on MDL, not from other sources.
Thanks for the help, yeah I think you can have 2 Semi-Annual Channel in your app for us to select(at any time 2 version is gonna be supported), I don't know the possibility but it will be good.
New OfficeRTool version will list 2 builds (newest and the prior) to enter for update. And of course you can manually enter any other valid distribution channel / build- number combination. Expect a new OfficeRTool release tomorrow.
A new OfficeRTool version (2018/January/13) was released today Info: Retail2Volume conversion of 2019 versions included but deactivated. Generated 2019 KMS-Keys are not included. Updated OfficeRTool will be released, as soon as official Office 2019 GVLK-keys are available. Enhancement: (U) CHANGE OFFICE UPDATE-PATH (SWITCH DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL) Now you can up-/downgrade installed Office Proplus to any build you want. OfficeRTool will maintain the last 2 versions (newest and prior) in latest-xx- files and show them in update dialogue. You need to have OfficeRTool to check for new releases at start. At the moment 16.0.xxxx.yyyy is stored as prior build-number. This will automatically change when a new build is detected at startup build-check. Prior build-number will then be saved in latest-xx-file. Example output where a specific build-number was manually entered. Insider FAST channel was selected as new distribution channel: Manually enter any build-nummer such as 16.0.xxxx.yyyy (prior build) or simply press return for updating to: 16.0.8911.2016 (newest build) Set Office update build >16.0.8765.1000 ____________________________________________________________________________ New Update-Configuration will be set to: Distribution-Channel : Insider (Office Insider FAST) Update To Version : 16.0.8765.1000 Change Configuration and start download of new Office version (1/0)? >1 After "1" was entered as confirmation, you are returned to Main Menu and internal Office Update starts with new configration in the background. In case, error Window "Something has gone wrong" appears, then you have entered a false combination of distribution-channel / build-number. MS-Office- Update doesn't find selected build and presents this more or less meaningful Window. (A) SHOW CURRENT ACTIVATION STATUS Some more info's are added. Example output shows Office 2019 ProPlus: Office 2019 ProfessionalPlus --- ProductVersion: 16.0.8911.2016 License Family: Office19ProPlus2019XC2RVL_KMS_ClientC2R Activation status: 1 (---LICENSED---) PartialProductKey: -**** Remaining KMS activation period: 179 days left - License expires at: 7/11/2018 Evaluation-/Beta-Version timebomb active - Product end-of-life: 12/31/2018 "active timebomb" line will only be schon, if there is a eol-restriction built into Evaluation-Office by Microsoft. I thought, it will be useful to know that. No other changes were made. Download-links and checksums in OP were updated.
Thanks ratzlefatz for a great app. Just a quick question, I noticed the slovak language was not included, I tried editing the skript to include sk-SK with id 1051 and it seems to have worked. Can you please confirm?
Thank you for reporting back. At project start in 2015 I used a list of what seems to be standard languages. I will take the chance and check, if there are more missing languages ready to support. As slovak Office is confirmed by you to work, I will add this (and other) language(s) to next OfficeRTool version.
A new OfficeRTool version (2018/January/14) was released today Enhancement: [D] DOWNLOAD OFFICE OFFLINE INSTALL PACKAGE - Added missing slovak (sk-SK) and bulgarian (bg-BG) languages - Changed language selection check to fall back to en-US language at no or false input No other changes were made. Download-links and checksums in OP were updated.
If you wish to complete the set Code: sl-si 1060 Slovenian sr-latn-rs 9242 Serbian (Latin) ms-my 1086 Malaysian id-id 1057 Indonesian kk-kz 1087 Kazakh hr-hr 1050 Croatian
To be close to perfect... Sure. Will be a silent update to 2018Jan14 version. I will change this post, when it's online. UPDATE: changed version is online now. Download-links and checksums in OP were updated.
I seem to be having trouble with detection of installation directory, the key is present HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration\InstallationPath -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office I bypassed the problem by manualy changing: Line 1299 set "_ProPlusRetail=YES" Line 1321 set "installpath16=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office" Line 1326 if %errorlevel% EQU 1 goto:CheckOffice16C2R Then it worked, have no idea why there is a problem.
Was any Office installed on this system before? Please use Fix-It-Tool from post#4 (solution 5.) to wipe Office from system. Be sure to exactly follow instructions in post#4 regarding FixIt-Tool usage. And don't miss the 2 reboots. They are needed! Then start a new install.
That is exactly what I did. Even though after installing a fresh office after the two restarts it still didnt work. I will try on a different PC to see if it will work.
