    @Edwe
    Automatic activation by KMS should not occur unless you'r already activated and upgrading office.
    You should have a choice if you need a retail rather than a volume installation.
    There are always some that use legit licensing and need a easy to use tool...

    Monkey can add more.

    This is Windows 10
    27-12-2021 18.18.23.ls.jpg

    Windows 7 (x64) will briefly show a bluish window and close, no menu. Elevated.
    If Windows 7 is not supported then ok, you could add supported OS to readme file and correct it if you no longer support VLMCSD

    No biggie, English is not my native language either.

    Windows 7 SP1 x64 I tested briefly is stock WMF - 2.0
    What is minimum WMF required by Office(R)Tool?

    No, I don't need it and I posted some observations that I couldn't clearly find described.

    I assumed that users could choose to download install retail as well -> [C] CONVERT RETAIL LICENSE TO VOLUME LICENSE, my bad.

    :xmas:

    It's option for users to convert retail to volume
    But it also reinstall office licenses

    About PowerShell, I have ps 2.0
    And not have any problem :)

    Windows 7 sp1 have ps 2.0 (I think)
    So should not be any problem
    Can you check it ?

    in theory. Yes. only 2016 install as retail.
    so if you install 2019 / 2021 should not be any problem.
    (I am talking about offline installation)
    Code:
    if "%installtrigger%" EQU "1" ((set "type= ***** Retail ***** ")&&(set "of16install=1")&&(goto:InstallExclusions))
    if "%installtrigger%" EQU "2" ((set "type=Volume")&&(set "of19install=1")&&(goto:InstallExclusions))
    if "%installtrigger%" EQU "3" (if %win% GEQ 9600 if %o16build:~5,5% GEQ 14000 ((set "type=Volume")&&(set "of21install=1")&&(goto:InstallExclusions)))

    Is it so simple that the line:
    "Remaining KMS activation period: 180 days left - License expires: 2022-06-26"

    means that KMS will renew the key before 2022-06-26?

    add a space between -args'/d/x/r'
    otherwise (with PS 2.0) it's added to cmd command and fail (-args file cannot be found)
    @BAU should stop abusing powershell shortcuts :p

    also, the vbs "%~dpf0" is wrong, use either "%~f0" or "%~dpnx0"

    Code:
    %MultiNul% fltmc || (
        set "_=call "%~f0" %*" & powershell -nop -c start cmd -args '/d/x/r',$env:_ -verb runas || (
        >"%temp%\Elevate.vbs" echo CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^).ShellExecute "%~f0", "%*" , "", "runas", 1
        %SingleNul% "%temp%\Elevate.vbs" & del /q "%temp%\Elevate.vbs" )
        exit)
