Adding MS Project 2013 key to KMS server

Hello,
We just recently got a KMS key for MS project, and when I attempted to add the key to the KMS server, it causes the Office Professional Plus 2013 key to become unlicensed. I understand Project is an office product, and I have an active KMS key for
Office Professional Plus 2013, does this mean that key is what will be used to activate Project?
Thank You,
Thad

Hi Thad,
Please see the similar thread and Mr. Don has explained:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/office/en-US/d9fc307f-cbab-45c9-9fd4-e8a728fab308/installing-visio-2013-kms-key-on-kms-server
I copied here:
====
when I login to VLSC, I don't have different KMS pkeys for Office vs. Visio vs. Project.
they are named "Office 2010 Suites and Apps [KMS]" and "Office 2013 Suites and Apps [KMS]"
Depending on how you search or navigate within VLSC, there might appear to be KMS key for each suite/product, but you should find that the Office one is the same pkey as Visio and also Project.
Every time I've ever installed a KMS (I have done quite a few), the Office KMS will happily activate Office Std, Office ProPlus, Visio Std/Pro/Prem, Project Std/Pro.
(actually it's really easy to activate Visio Prem, since Prem is the default for the VL package of Visio. which is a problem if the customer is only licensed for a lesser edition of Visio.....)
====
Then we can use: slmgr.vbs /dli all
and also check the event logs on your KMShost, to see what it's getting and what it's giving out
Project 2013 uses the same activation ID as the matching Office suite, so if Project 2013 is not activating then Office 2013 would also be busted.

Change Office 2010 key on KMS Server

Hi!
Not sure if this is the right part of the forum, but I'll try!
Recently a company I work for changed provider for Office 2010 and the key that is listed in the KMS-server is wrong.
How do I change the current key to the new one?
Running slmgr.vbs /dlv all gives me the following info about Office 2010:
As marked above, the product key is wrong, this is what I need to change.

Manually install the Office 2010 KMS host key and activate
If you want to manually enter the Office 2010 KMS host key and activate it, use the slmgr.vbs script. For more information, see
Configure the Office KMS host later in this article.
Open an elevated command prompt, and then run the following commands:
slmgr.vbs /ipk <NEW Office 2010 KMS host key>
slmgr.vbs /ato <Office 2010 activation ID>
The Office 2010 activation ID is bfe7a195-4f8f-4f0b-a622-cf13c7d16864.

Need to install Project 2013 Key was used on other employee computer

the employee is leaving need to install project on my computer using the key used on the other PC

I think, only MS technical support will be able to help you with this, but if the key was used from MSDN you may log onto MSDN account and can use it from there

Add-In Acrobat is missing in MS Project 2013

I have installed Acrobat 11.0.7 and MS Project 2013 on a Windows Server 2008 R2. I cant see the Add-In Acrobat in the GUI of Project. Is there a description how to integrate the Acrobat Add-In in the Options of Project?
Thanks for a feedback
Markus Geissmann

It may be that your Project is a 64-bit application and that might be the issue. The compatibility page on shows it for the 32-bit version. You might also check Project to see if there is an add-on list that allows you to enable Acrobat.

SQL License Key and KMS

Hello,
I have an SQL Enterprise evaluation instance which I downloaded from MS site and later got to know we have a KMS server, now I need to update the SQL instance with the key from KMS server, how can I achieve this ?? Can you please share some instructions,
resources for this. On my KMS server I have the SQL software with embedded key how can I get the key seperaet to update ? Any thoughts around this too ?
Thanks !!!

http://sqlserver-help.com/2014/06/05/help-how-to-get-product-key-for-sql-server
Before expiring buy a license and move all the DB's and everything to new instance , this is the best approach :)
Agree. It's not known to many that SQL Server 2008 onwards, expired SQL Server can be upgraded to full version.

Adding a Windows 8/2012 KMS key to a 2008 R2 KMS server.

Hello,
I have my KMS keys for Windows 8/2012. Can these be added to a 2008 R2 KMS server or is there a document that details this?
Shawn

yes, There is a separate hotfix for Win 8.1 and 2012 R2.
kb#2885698
I have been successful install the hotfix, rebooting, and then adding the 2012 r2 key. I am still unsuccessful adding the windows 8/8.1 keys. Receiving the error:
kb#2752119
which tells me that it doesn't like the hotfix... but you can give it a shot!
Other forums say that that the 2012 r2 key will activation windows 8.1, but i am still unsuccessful in activating my workstation.
The WS2012R2 KMShost product key *will* successfully issue activations for Win8.1, but note that you must have 25 KMSclients communicating to a KMShost, for a "Client" OS edition to KMS-activate.
You cannot install the Win8.1 KMShost product key on a Windows Server OS - you must use the Windows Server KMShost product key if your KMShost OS is Windows Server.

How do I install multiple KMS keys on one server?

I currently am working at Phelps County Regional Medical Center in Rolla, MO and my question is: How do I install multiple KMS keys onto one server? This is very urgent and I have the KMS activating Windows 7 but, I also need all my Office keys, Windows
8, and Windows 8.1 to be activated via KMS. the current KMS is a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. Please help me out and thank you for your time! :)

you need to apply the following update (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2885698)to your KMS server so you can license up to Windows 8.1. From there your key for 8.1/2012R2 will license everything
downwards and then you can also install your Office KMS key without issue. If its Office 2013 then you need to download the files here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35584)
Be kind and Mark as Answer if I helped.

App-V 5.0: Adding Visio 2013 and Project 2013 to a previously deployed virtual Office 2013

Good morning.
I can successfully deploy Office 2013 via PowerShell and App-V v5.0 without difficulty. I've read the document at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745/en-us and followed all instructions successfully.
My question is this: If Office 2013 without Visio 2013 or Project 2013 is virtually deployed, how can those components be added later?
For instance, we may have 100 users that acquire a virtualized Office 2013 without Project or Visio. We then may have 25 users that require a virtualized Office and Visio without Project and, perhaps, another 15 that require Office and Project without
Visio.
Currently, when I attempt a second virtual deployment of one of these components, it removes Office 2013 making it inaccessible.
How can Project and/or Visio be deployed to an already existing virtually deployed Office 2013?
Thanks very much.
John

How to activate Windows 8.1 on a Windows 2008 R2 KMS server when I don't have Windows 2012 R2 kms host key

I only have windows 8.1 kms host key but I can't add a client OS kms key to Windows 2008 R2 kms server. And I don't have Windows 2012 R2 license either. Is there any way I can activate Windows 8.1 using my existing kms server? Thanks.

I would like a yes no clarification answer. So does this mean that EVEN WITH THE PATCH. My Server 2012 Standard edition that currently hosts KMS VA for clients running Win7, Win 8, Office15, Server 2008, Server 2012. Will not be able to host windows 8.1?
I will have to install 8.1 and use as a host?
if you have a KMShost product key for WS2012R2, you can patch a down=level Server and be fine.
(the OP didn't renew SA or otherwise has no KMShost pkey for WS2012R2)

I'm having similar issues and have a similar question that doesn't seem to be answered:
My KMS server is Windows 2008 R2 (Also is my domain controller). I want to activate Windows 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 machines off this KMS server. I can install the 2012 R2 key just fine but receive error 0xC004F015 (The Software Licensing Service reported
that the license is not installed) when I try to install my 8.1 KMS key.
What I'm gathering from this thread is that I have to set up a Windows 8.1 host and set it up to be a KMS server exclusively for activating Windows 8.1. Is this correct? If so, Microsoft needs to fix that. I have a SERVER for activations for a reason: it
is a server, not a client. If I am mis-understanding, how do I get my Windows 2008 R2 server to accept the Windows 8.1 KMS key for activating 8.1 clients?
Thanks!
You don't need Windows 8.1 KMS key. Your 2012 R2 KMS key will be able to activate your Windows 8.1 machines. So your current set up is fine, no need to set up another Windows 8.1 KMS host.
My problem is I don't have 2012 R2 KMS key as I didn't buy any Windows 2012 R2 license. So I can't use 2012 R2 KMS key to activate my Windows 8.1.
Oh that's interesting. I guess I need to play around more because my 8.1 test machine isn't activating. I'll start a new thread for that if needed. Sorry for the confusion.

After installing Project Server 2013 (without updating SharePoint Server 2013 SP1))

I am facing the problem while opening project web app. I configured the SharePoint 2013 and project server 2013. Here is the detail what I performed the steps:
OS Server 2012 R2, SQL Server 2012, SharePoint server 2013 version
15.0.4420.1017, Project Server 2013 version
15.0.4454.1000. SharePoint configured and running successfully. After project web app site provisioning successfully completed. I got the below error.
Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.WebParts.PWAPart' from assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.PWA, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' cannot reduce access.
I run this psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force. But still getting same error.
Previous steps:
Earlier I had also tried to install SharePoint Server 2013 SP1 "3823428". After the installation SP1 some of sharePoint site features suddenly stopped e.g: Cannot browse "Service Applications -->
Manage service applications" option even after re-start the server. This was previous error after upgrading SP1
"Method 'get_IsClientValid' in type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServiceApplicationProxy' from assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices,
Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' does not have an implementation"
Anyone can help me!!! Thanks...
Faisal Numan

hello,
For SP2013 and PS2013 to work properly on Windows Server 2012 R2 you need to use the SP1 install media for both, download SharePoint 2013 with SP1 and Project Server 2013 with SP1

Email Notifications from Project 2013 has Project Server 2010 in the subject

I think it is a known bug, not sure if it has been corrected in the latest CU. Contact MS, they should help you with a script:

Project 2013 No Server, No Sharepoint, Updating Tasks From Assigned Resources Through Email

Ok,
I have searched high and low for this type of information and Im surprised after all these years that no one has asked or requested this type of information?
I am a consultant, with my own version of Project 2013 to track how I run Projects. This is the tool I use. So this being the case it makes no sense for me to spend millions of dollars for Project Server. I am just one person useing this
as my tool of choice.
My issues are:
I create and assign a task to a resource with a name and an email address.
I litterally have thousands of tasks with hundreds of assigned resources (People) with an email address.
I need to update weekly all my task!!! The entire point of using Project 2013 as a tool!
However it appears Microsoft needs to make this very dificult to do. If I have to manually email all these people with task and manually ask them for an update, then manually update all these task then whats the point of even bothering using Micrsofts Project
2013? It is useless.
I need a way to automate these updates without having a Server.
The Question no one seems to be asking is this?
Is there a way to update task through email, (Outlook), Why cant I send emails with a table of tasks assinged, request update in the task table, then the assigned resource sends me back the email with thier updates and I can automatically update my Project
Task?
Am I the only one who has asked this or thought of this? Or are my expectations to high? I cant figure how Microsoft could ever expect a single user of Project even with only one project with 50 to 100 task listed to have to get on the phone or emal
every single person manually, and manually update every single task every single week? I have used other Project type apps and they all have a way of sending emails out to assigned people to get task updates automatically. Only Project doesnt!
Why?

Thanks Prasanna,
Really for the amount of money I have to pay for a Product that should have some way to update tasks.
Think about this for minute. I believe Project 2007 was able to do this ,,,, that made sense....
Really ponder this question: What is the purpose of Microsoft Project for a single user? Does anyone ask these questions prior to development?
The reason for Project to exist is to TRACK TASK! THATS IT! Why would anyone want to track any type of task, hundreds of task MANUALLY? It does me no good for me to be the only one tracking task. It does me no good for me to be the only
one looking at the task schedule. Great, so IM THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS WHATS GOING ON?
So I ask this question.
If this is the case then what is the point of tracking anything if it cant be shared or updated in some way or another? Microsoft Project is useless as a single use product!
Here is the kicker....
I can purchase Outlook for a lot less, I can track any and all task, assign task to anyone with an email, I can assign and schedule task through Outlook and place an alert, set it as an appointment through the Calendar, change and assign start and end dates,
and get updates through email on any task, calendar, anything.... Why then would I waste ANYTIME OR MONEY ON A USELESS TASK TRACKING PRODUCT LIKE PROJECT? It does not do anything? Outlook does a thousand times more than Microsoft Project!
Does that make any sense to anybody? All Microsoft Project really is... is a stripped down Calendar/Task from Outlook with no ability to email, or communicate in any way shape or form with other people who are assigned the work. What ends up happening
is Microsoft expects single users to purchase Project Server? Are you crazy? This is the single reason why Project does not sale! If Microsoft would go back to sales metrics of Project 2007 they would see a decline till now that will reflect
this problem. Its really a simple fix. Sales would triple. Until there is a solution it makes way more sense for me to use Outlook, schedule work task on others calendars and have them send me an update weekly through an automated spreadsheet
through Outlook. From there all the reports exist in Excel. Why do I need Project anymore? BTW I have been a MS Project user since its inception.... SO IM not new to it... what a terrible waste of time, resources, and lack of
vision for just a simple powerful addin that was removed after 2007. Single users like myself will never purchase Project Server just so we can send emails with assigned task for an update,,, silly?

Uninstall and Reinstall of MS Project 2013 Trial Product Key

I am currently using the 60 day free trial version of MS Project 2013. I have been using it for 11 days. Can I uninstall it on one PC and reinstall it on another PC using the same product key if I am still within the 60 day trial window?

Hi,
You can’t uninstall Project 2013 trial on one PC then reinstall it on other PC with the same product key. You can only activate Project 2013 trial on a single PC with the same product key.
If you want to install Project 2013 trial on the other PC, you need to apply for a new account. Then download Project 2013 trial again via TechNet Evaluation Center on the new PC.
You can contact local Customer Service Center. You can find local service center telephone number in link below.

Obtaining keys from old KMS server for permanent use?

We have a client who bought a series of PCs that had previously been on loan from a software company. They discovered about 6 months after the fact that their copies of Office 2010 and Windows 7 on those machines were coming up as deactivated.
My question is: Can you obtain a permanent key for Office/Windows for a KMS activation after the device has been removed from the network with the KMS server?

I have a couple of these exact units for home... They are loud and expensive. I don't have exact figures, but I can't afford to run them. I bought a rack-case and built a custom "server" instead. The DL380's are now at work instead (where I don't pay the electricity bill )
Thanks. I wonder how it would be with green SATA drives and some power config tweaks. For now, I'll stick with my backup drive in my desk drawer and rsync for my laptop. Thanks all.

Unable to Connect to Project Server 2013 from Project 2013

Hello,
I'm trying to connect to Project Server 2013 from Project 2013 but it is not working.
I'm able to connect to the PWA from IE 10 on Windows 8 Enterprise
On Project 2013, I configured account to connect to Project Server 2013 and I checked the "Log on to Project Server from Project Professional" global permission and it is on.
Any idea why it is not connecting?

So you are using Project Online and not Project Server 2013? Can other users access Project Online from Project Pro successfully in your organisation? If it was an authentication issue, Project would prompt for credentials.
