Windows 8: office 2013 activation

How can I activate my Office 2013 VL on Windows 8? I have it installed in the directory: D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15. I am confused, any help would be appreciated.

 

Hey Ian789 how'd you do it?

Mine's installed at C:\Microsoft Office\Office15

Option to change the install path (and hence the scripting path) is needed for the kms tool.

Sorry haven't read through entire thread.

Thanks for that peeps, I think readme should be updated with that too, it would be nice


hmm, I get this:

 

Which server you tried to use for activation?

 

using kms 3.11
local: 127.0.0.1:1688

 

To spidernz

set local to : 127.0.0.1
and NO to : 127.0.0.1:1688

works for me

Have a nice day

 

Ah yes that worked!

So it should be:

Code:

Activating Office:
1. Execute "Start KMSmicro 3.11.cmd", waiting for the server to boot.
2. Once the menu comes up: use option "T" for time synchronization server.
3. Use option "+" Charge KMS Server
4a. Execute as administrator file "Activation Helper v1.1 x64.exe" or "Activation Helper v1.1 x86.exe"
          to activate the computer. All, the system is activated for 180 days. 
4b. Manual Activation:
  Navigate to location of ospp.vbs (the Office Software Protection Platform) script which should be 
  in the Office1x folder.
  Run cmd.exe with Admin permission from this folder location.
  Execute these commands: 
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:127.0.0.1
cscript ospp.vbs /act
5. Activated!
6. To check if activation was successful, run command 
cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus

 

Yes that's OK

 

I have the same question, can anyone tell us right?

 

YES




dont use ATM in KMS activation

 

Why 179, not 180?

Using ColdZero's 64 bit Activation Helper v1.5 to activate Windows 8 Ent always gives 180 days.

Using the 32 bit Helper v1.5 to activate Office 2013 always gives 179 days.

Nothing to do with the Helper I'm sure (that was just added so that you know how I activated), but does anyone know why I get 179 instead of 180 days with Office?

Just curious.

 

Ok after a a painful amount of school work finally got back on the forum and updated information in the repo to cover this.

Trying to consolidate information on software is a total pain.

 

......

So..... using phone is the only option to activate office 2013 retail?
and if can't do that, the other option is manually convert the office to VL....

or there is other way?

i've try using KMSmicro 4 and failed......

any suggest?
