Hello, I have Office 2013 company activated. Fully legal. I have added Visio 2016. I need help in activating it. Just installed and there is a popup asking for activation coming up all the time. With KMSAuto Net.exe I get this info (replaced the codes with other numbers): Code: -----===== KMSAuto Net 2015 v1.4.2 by Ratiborus =====----- = Products Status: Office 2010, Office 2013/2016 == Office 16, Office16VisioProR_Grace edition Product Description: Office 16, RETAIL(Grace) channel Partial Product Key: ABCDE License Status: Out-of-Box (OOB) Grace Reason: 0x4004f00c == Office 15, OfficeProPlusVL_KMS_Client edition Product Description: Office 15, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel Partial Product Key: FGHIL License Status: Licensed KMS-host Machine: <default>:1789 KMS-host PID: *long code replaced by me* Expiration Date/Time: 19-Jun-2016 10:11 ( 157 d 20 h 47 min ) Activation Interval: 0 d 2 h 0 min Renewal Interval: 7 d 0 h 0 min ========================== How can I proceed activating Visio 2016, without corrupting or chaning the actual working legal activation of Office 15?
Does it mean that I have to uninstall Visio and install the VL SKU version? How do I find my company KMS? How to back it up? If it will be overwritten, then how should I put the right company KMS to Office 15 back again after I activate Visio 2016?
@utnalove 1. That should be the best choice to avoid any future error. 2. Post the output of: Code: slmgr.vbs /dlv b322da9c-a2e2-4058-9e4e-f59a6970bd69
Downloading now SW_DVD5_Visio_Pro_2016_W32_English_MLF_X20-41585 The output of that command is: Software licensing version 6.1.7601.17514. Error product key not found.
@utnalove Sorry, the above command is only applicable for Windows 8 & above. In which location Office is installed?
@utnalove 1. Yah, start it. 2. Open an elevated command prompt & type Code: cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs" /dstatus

So how should I proceed to activate visio? Use the KMSAuto Net.exe? Should I click "activate office"? Sorry for asking every step, but I'd liko avoid to break something
