This document shows how to convert Microsoft Office 2013, Microsoft Office 2016, or Microsoft Office 2019 to and from KMS activation and MAK activation, as well as help determine which activation type is currently in use. These activations are available for faculty and staff using departmental machines. Please note that only Office Pro Plus can use KMS or MAK activation. Other editions are not compatible.
These instructions only apply to machines running Windows Vista, 7, 8.1, or 10. Machines running macOS do not use KMS or MAK activation. Instead, the Microsoft Volume License Serializer is run on a machine to create its own unique license file. This serializer can be found on the Campus Software Library under the section for Microsoft software.
Duke-Owned Computers: volume-licensed standalone version - This version is not tied to users' accounts and may be installed and activated on an unlimited number of computers for Duke purposes. The Windows version uses volume license activation, which activates with either a KMS license server (default, recommended) or a product key (MAK - used for offline or off-campus work computers). The Mac version does not require activation.
You can verify automatic activation by opening any Office application other than Outlook (Word, Excel, etc.) and going to File -> Help (Office 2010) or File -> Account (Office 2013, 2016) and then looking on the right column. If the product is activated, it will say "Product Activated." Otherwise, you will need to take additional steps to activate manually.
The license type is specified in the LICENSE NAME string. In this example, this is Office 16, Office16ProPlusVL_KMS_Client edition. It means you have a volume licensed version of MS Office 2016 ProPlus installed on your computer.

In an Active Directory domain, you can get the activation status of Office on remote computers using a simple PowerShell script. You can create a list of active computers in a specific OU by using the Get-ADComputer cmdlet from the PowerShell Active Directory module. Then you can query the activation status of Microsoft Office licenses for each of them.
In this article, we will discuss the basics of MS Office KMS activation (this guide applies to the volume editions of Office 2021, 2019, and 2016, including Project and Visio). This takes place after you have to install and activate the KMS (Key Management Service) host on Windows Server 2022/2019/2016/2012 R2.
Note. This guide applies only for Microsoft Office 2021/2019/2016 under volume license excluding Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise (ex- Office 365 ProPlus). This MS Office version is subscription-based and can be activated online only.
You need to run the downloaded file (office2016volumelicensepack_4324-1002_en-us_x64.exe, office2019volumelicensepack_x64.exe, or Office2021VolumeLicensePack_x64.exe) as an administrator on your KMS server. The installer contains new KMS host license files. These license files allow your KMS host service to recognize KMS Host keys for Office, Project, and Visio. The activation files update script will be launched.
If you want to use Active Directory-Based Activation, you need to choose this option in your Volume Activation Tools wizard (you can use the ADBA activation for the clients running Windows 11/10/8.1 or Windows Server 2012/2012 R2/2016/2019/2022).
If during client activation you are facing an error 0xC004F074, this is a known problem that does not yet have a normal solution except for re-installing KMS on Windows Server 2012 R2 or creating a separate KMS for Office 2016 only.
By default, volume licensed versions of Office 2021, 2019, and Office 2016 are preinstalled with the Generic Volume License Keys (GVLK). GVLKs allow the installed Office copy to automatically discover and activate Office on the KMS host by using a special VLSC record in DNS.
Meanwhile, after you installed the KMS host or created the ADBA object, the installed MS Office copy on the computer is activating automatically (as long as the computer has a GVLK installed, and the computer is joined to the Active Directory domain). Therefore, the GVLK key is not required usually (they are preinstalled in all Office 2021/2019/2016 volume license products).
You can get an up-to-date GVLK list for KMS activation of Office 2021, 2019, and 2016 (including Office Professional Plus/Standard, Project Professional/Standard, Visio Pro/Standard, Access, Excel, Outlook, Word, Skype for Business) using the link.
What is the GVLK key for Visio 2016 Standard Volume using C2R? The last 5 digits when I successfully license this comes back as w4423 (ospp.vbs /dstatus) and not W8GF4 as your chart suggests. I do see W8GF4 when I install Visio 2016 Standard via MSI though.
In fall 2021, Microsoft released the Office 2021 LTSC (Long Term Servicing Channel) perpetual license, the successor to Office 2019 for device-based Office activation. Endpoint Services has packaged the Office 2021 license for the Multi-Tenant Munki service.
There is no need to uninstall older Office versions before updating to the 2021 license. Office 2021 will install over 2019 and 2016; 2019 will install over 2016; and all volume license packages share common base installers with Office 365.
As with Office 2021, the Office 2019 license contains only a subset of the full Office 365 feature set; for the full feature set, deploy Office 365. If you have a need to deploy Office 2019, add microsoft_office_2019 to your unit Munki manifests.
To allow EPS to more easily retire Office 2016 from the service, please remove microsoft_office_2016_vl_serializer from your Munki manifests. Note that attempting to use Munki to uninstall Office 2016 from a Mac that has already been upgraded to Office 365/2021/2019 will fail.
If you have previously installed a trial version of MS Office on your machine and now have a paid Office 2016/2019/365 version installed, but Office always asking for activation, continue below to correct the problem.
If you purchased a new computer with Office preinstalled and you installed an Office 2016/2019 volume license without uninstalling the preinstalled version, continue and remove the registry entry of the pre-installed version of Office to get rid of Let's get started screen.
Can I transfer Office 2016 license to another PC? You can check the license terms issued by Microsoft: You may also transfer the software to a device owned by someone else if (i) you are the first licensed user of the software and (ii) the new user agrees to the terms of this agreement.
However, Office 2016 has the OEM license, which can not be transferred to a new computer. So you need to deactivate the Office license on the existing PC, then move Office 2016 to a new computer, and activate it on a new PC by a unique 25 characters product key.
Office 2016 has the OEM license which can not be transferred to another computer. So you need to deactivate and uninstall Office 2016 license in the existing pc and then install and activate it in the new one.
There are two ways to transfer Office 2016 to a new computer. If you want to make sure that your Microsoft Office can run without an activation problem, Method 1 is the most suitable choice. If you want to transfer Office manually, Method 2 is a nice choice.
Just like KMS, the MAK keys can be found in your VLSC portal. Each MAK has a predefined number of allowed activations, and each activation occurrence will incrementally increase the number of used activation for that MAK.In the screenshot above, you can see that 3 activations (out of 300 allowed activation/seats) were completed using a MAK for Windows Server 2016 Standard.
On the next screen, choose an appearance for your Office installation, select Continue, and then select the Start Using Word button to open the app and complete the Office 2016 for Mac activation. 2ff7e9595c
