    How do I create a configuration file (XML file)?

    I tried Edit Config in Deployment Mode but "Start Deploy" instantly grays out.



    Edit: It's OK, I found "View XML Code". Thanks!

    I am trying to use tool to change update channel to current for Office 2019 ProPlusVolume, the tool changes it, but when tries to update says that I already have the latest version.
    Screenshots here in Office 2019 topic

    The update channel for 2019, 2021, 2024 ProPlusVolume was locked. You can't change them by this way.

    If you really want to change it, I think you can install O365ProPlusRetail instead, then activate it using the ProPlus2019Volume license.

    Thanks! That's new for me!
    If I install o365ProPlusRetail, I can activate with any Volume version? ProPlus2019Volume, ProPlus2021Volume & ProPlus2024Volume?
    Both KMS and OHook?

    If you use MAK, it's true, you can install license and activate it via Office Tool Plus.

    If you use KMS or Ohook, you can choose MondoVolume license for better experiences. Or 2019/2021/2024 as you want.

    Before doing this, reset Office settings to defaults on Office Tool Plus's toolbox page.

    Aha, thanks.
    I have installed O365ProPlusRetail, ProjectPro2024Retail and VisioPro2024Retail via Office Tool Plus v 10.14.21.8 (x64)
    Activated them with OHook.
    Inside apps I see it is activated as needed:
    [​IMG]
    Note - Channel is ACTUAL, version 2407 build 17830.20166
    I am happy with that if that would work without reactivation.
    But I face another strange thing about channels.
    I want to try ACTUAL (PRERELEASE) channel.
    I go to OfficeToolPlus and set it:
    upload_2024-8-18_8-29-57.png
    [​IMG]
    It downloads update, but when I run Word, I see it as Channel Monthly Enterprise, version 2406 build 17726.20206
    upload_2024-8-18_8-30-55.png
    [​IMG]
    So in fact instead of getting newer with switching to Actual Prerelease, I switched to Monthly Enterprise and got older version?
    Trying again Actual Prerelease, or Beta in Office Tool Plus says me that no updates needed
    Is that again hard coded to O365ProPlusRetail suite?
    How can I get 2408 version from Actual Prerelease, I want Python in Excel.
    Thanks!

    Update OfficeRTool is able to set Actual Prerelease version 2408 build 17928.20066 or Beta version 2409 build 18011.20000 and I am able to get
    upload_2024-8-18_8-33-5.png
    upload_2024-8-18_8-29-9.png
    So that is something with Office Tool Plus not working switching channels.

    Thank you for your information. After doing some tests, I decide to remove registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration -> UnmanagedUpdateUrl key after changed the update channel.

    It works on my PC. But I'm not sure if it works for you too. You can try the steps if you can, and let me know if any questions, thank you!

    Despite the addition of the final Office 2024 GLVKs, is anyone else finding that OTP is installing the wrong key?

    I've tried installing Office 2024 LTSC VL on a virtual machine three times now. All three time times it installed Office with the preview key for LTSC, rather than the key for the shipping version.

    As a result, I'm getting Office24ProPlus2024PreviewVL_KMS_Client as the installed SKU, rather than Office24ProPlus2024VL_KMS_Client

    Nothing I can't work around now that I recognize what's going wrong. But it's an odd quirk I wasn't expecting.

    Office still hasn't updated "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun\OfficeClickToRun.exe" file with the final GVLK, and it still has a preview key, that's why GVLK needs to be written in ODT config, and if you don't, it will install the preview.
    You can change this by just installing the final GVLK.

    The GVLK is build in OTP. But it will only be used when installing licenses for Office 2024 LTSC. When Office is installing, the preview key will be installed by Click-To-Run.

    So just install Office 2024 ProPlus LTSC license in Office Tool Plus, or input the key to configs.

    Edit:

    If Office is installed, just install the key again:

    Is there available the Office 2024 LTSC final, instead of prewiew? If so, how to get it?

    As #498 showed, just input the final GVLK to config. The config is located in Deploy -> Advanced settings -> Activation settings.

    After Microsoft fixes this issue, this extra step will no longer be necessary.
