Is it indeed the case (i.e., I should use MAK activation instead), or I am still missing something? Judging by what I include below, ospp.vbs hints the above can't be activated via KMS. All the other documented required checks/actions are performed as well prior to activating. Host name is provided correctly (via 'cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:hostname', I tried all the hostnames relevant, starting with that working for activating from workstations). However, the installation on the server itself refuses to use KMS.įirewall is set up correctly.
All the workstations activate their MS Office 2013 without a single glitch.
There are no entries in KMS event log related to this failure.Įverything was restarted, reinstalled etc several times already (including installing 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Office). Problem: I can't activate MS Office 2013 installation running on the same server where KMS service is being run.
Microsoft Office 2013 Standard deployed on the server mentioned above and on workstations on intranet, volume licensing in effect (proper KMS key for activation of Microsoft Ofice 2013 has been entered). KMS service set up and running, all the recommended updates applied (to handle possible activation issues for Windows 8 etc) If you are using a Microsoft account, you can sign in with an account that you use for SkyDrive, Xbox, Hotmail (Windows Live),, or other Microsoft services.Given: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64-bit, all the latest security updates applied. You can activate your copy of version 2013 from an organizational or Microsoft account by entering valid credentials. Whether you are using a trial version or have bought version 2013, entering a key might be the easiest way as it requires no internet connectivity and product associations with a Microsoft account.Īctivate MS Office 2013 From an Organizational or Microsoft Account You will be provided with three activation methods, including the option to either login with a Microsoft Account, Organizational account or to enter a license key. In a previous post I showed you “ How To Get MS 2013 Trial Product Key”, in this post I will show you the activation process for version 2013.Īfter installing MS Office 2013, just launch any of the applications and the activation option will automatically appear. Due to the various changes made to the latest MS Office 2013 suite, the activation method has also been slightly altered, as users can now activate their copy of Office 2013 by not only entering a product key but also by logging in with a Microsoft or Organizational account.
