    Maybe you can search on Google, or ask your admin for help.

    If you are using Office 365 Home Prem or Office 365 Personal, you can't change the email address, or if you are using Office 365 Business or education, you can change the account email in Manage panel. For V6 version, you can find it in Manage page, for V7, you can find it in Deploy page, there have a button in the right of screen that allow you to expand Manage panel.

    I have already downloaded a file for office 2019 which has the file name proplus2019retail.img (3.4gb) from the first post. I tried to follow instructions on a few posts here, but I'm overwhelmed! I downloaded odt and tried to install the downloaded file, but I'm not really sure what to do now. How do I continue? Is there a post that already explains this?

    Since you've downloaded the package you can extract the image and install it from the folder. You can then use OfficeRtool or Office Tool to convert it from retail to volume and then kms activate it.

    Hello
    I am reading about this tool for the first time today and it looks very good. In your comment above do you mean that this tool does not set up a local KMS server? I want to install Office 365 ProPlus but I will need permanent activation or a local KMS solution, not to use someone else's KMS server. is that possible?

    Update: I read this In the Activation Tips at on your github page:
    "Activate License -Note: The only way to activate Office 365 is to login your Office 365 account."

    So does this mean I must have a valid license first?

    What about with Office 2019 Volume, I guess there is no local KMS server created by the tool and I must use someone elses KMS server?

    Yes, Office Tool Plus will not set up a local KMS, so you need an online KMS for activate, you can use set up by yourself or use others. If you don't have a Office 365 account and you want to use Office 365 functions, please install Office mondo 2016 license and activate it via KMS.

    Can I please clarify something about activating office 365 (proplus)

    Query one
    After downloading Office 365 and checking in the Account tab it said Office 365
    However after activating and checking in the account tab again it said 2016
    So is it really 2016 or office 365?

    Query two
    If it is truly office 365 am I exactly on par with others who subscribe to office 365
    Will I get all the feature updates (I am on a monthly channel) for subscribers from time to time as they rollout (the latest being export to animated gif feature in powerpoint)?

    Thank you

    1) Office 365 don't have "free" activatable licenses, Office 2016 Mondo is the closest you get

    2) No, you don't get all features

    If I re-download latest O365 package via OfficeRTool with all the new features included with latest build, then have it installed, then kms activated, does the key used determine which features gets installed or not?

    How does Office know what's a valid subscription?

    I must be an idiot because I dont understand how to use this tool at all... I successfully installed Office Pro Plus 2016 Volume, how do I get it activated?
    Installed Keys successfully, now what? Do I need to find a valid product key? Do I have to use KMS? Directions unclear

    I got 9 box retail office 2016 home and office keys.
    The problem is that keys were used and bound to emails we don't remember.
    The only help is to contact live agent and providing key and purchase proof they can remind email.
    One live agent can restore only 1 key.
    This will take ages.

    Can quickly install 2016 and activate using our legit keys?


    @@@
    I have deployed office 2016 Home and Office, and installing licences turns my Retail Office to Professional.
    Tried everything to use my legit keys but I always get a response:

    Error Code: 0xC004F014
    Error Description: The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is not available.
    OR THIS
    Error Code: 0xC004F069
    Error Description: The Software Licensing Service reported that the product SKU is not found.

    The keys were used by me long time ago. Isnt that possible to use them offline? Something like hard key input?

    For the product key is not available, I think you should get a new key.

    For the product SKU is not found, you can install the right license and try install key again.

    For more information, you can get additional help from Microsoft customer service.

    You successfully installed Office, that's right. To activate Office, you have three ways:
    1. Get a valid key and install it.
    2. Get an available kms and use it.
    3. Use other kms tool in MDL.
    There should have a full instructions, but MDL doesn't support third part hosted kms so I didn't write it in this post.
