    Screenshot says the KMS service couldn't be contacted.

    Did you set the KMS host before running the /act command?

    cscript "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs" /sethst:[SERVER ADDRESS OR I.P GOES HERE]

    Hey team,

    I usually don't request support, but I am fresh out of ideas.

    I keep getting Error

    [0xc004f074
    the software licensing service reported that the product couldnt be activated.....etc]

    I have searched everywhere, used the Localhost.reg file, everything. Trying to Activate Office 2013 64bit on Win8 Ent x64, and no mater what method, file, batch or product I use, I keep getting the same error. Can anyone assist?


    Thanks.

    @Aenslead

    Did you sync the clock / pick the correct time zone?

    Try using UTC.

    Sure did. I even re-activated my Win8 Ent. to check it wasn't a config problem.

    Any other ideas? Anything I have to clean/change?

    The easy way is to go check your Office Activation..If you see "Change Product Key", Then your office is VL, if not then it's retail.

    thanks man, really helped, I don't have this option under the account menu but I have it in the "Program and features -> Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 -> Change", so it means I have the Retail one, right?

    Yes, then your Office is Retail.

    First, Run your KMS Micro Server:

    Then;
    Navigate to your Office Installation folder via command prompt.

    It'll look something like this (depending on where you installed your office):

    D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\>

    Once you're there, Execute the commands given below one by one.
    Code:
    cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:127.0.0.2
    cscript ospp.vbs /act
    Hopefully your Office will be activated after that :)

    Can someone please help me find a public KMS server for Office 2013?

    I tried both:-

    win8kms.no-ip.info
    zwaan.mooo.com

    And I can't reach either. I can't even ping them!

    Thanks.

    chuckles must be sleeping and shut it down. The KMSMicro is rather simple (point click! use a keyboard lol) and you will always have your KMS machine on and ready when you need it. From your own machine too.

    Yes true, seems like KMS Micro is a better idea. BUT I don't like the idea of installing some weird software on my computer if I don't have to.

    So if I can find any KMS out there then that is my preference, with the KMS Micro being the absolute last resort.

    So can anyone please find me a working server?

    Thanks.
