KMS host for office 2013 standard and pro

Our KMS host is a VM on Windows server 2008 R2
When I install the patch kms host says I need (kb article 2757817), in order for the KMS host to activate Office 2013 clients on Windows 8, will there be a reboot? If so, will this interfere with clients using Office?
thanks all :)

from memory, yes, a KMShost server machine will need a reboot.
This usually means a brief interruption to all services hosted upon that machine, but after the reboot, services resume.
KMSclient machines (using Windows or Office), will temporarily be unable to contact the KMShost for activations/renewals, but KMSclients automatically retry every few hours anyway, so should be fine. Some machine *might* show not-genuine warnings (depends
on your environment) but will quickly resolve itself.

Ok, so, assuming that the pkey you entered for Office KMShostpack, ends in "78629", now you just need to follow the rest of the instructions on the link above;
1. cscript slmgr.vbs /dti bfe7a195-4f8f-4f0b-a622-cf13c7d16864
[to obtain your Installation ID, although that is displayed in the output from above]
2. slui.exe 4, and then call the telephone number displayed
[close the SLUI window, you don't need it anymore, and, ignore the Installation ID displayed in SLUI, it's for Windows, not Office]
[navigate the telephone prompts to choose Windows/Office activation]
3.At each prompt, enter a group of six numbers. This is the installation ID for Office 2010 that you obtained in Step 1
[get ready to record the response, the ATS doesn't give you much time]
4.When you hear the response, write down the numbers.
[I prefer to type them into Notepad, since I can type faster than I can write legibly]
5.Run cscript slmgr.vbs /atp xxxxxxxxxxxx bfe7a195-4f8f-4f0b-a622-cf13c7d16864, where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the confirmation ID that you receive by telephone
(there should be 48 numbers, no spaces nor dashes).
6.You should see a message that the confirmation ID was successfully deposited.

Microsoft Query for Office 2013 Home and Business

Where can I get Microsoft Query for Office 2013 Home and Business version? I have used it for years on my old XP machine with Office 2003.
Thank you, Sue

Hi,
You seem got an error like "Microsoft query could not be started because it isn’t installed" when you used it.
It may be not installed yet. We can go to "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features\Office 2013 Home and Business\change\Microsoft tools\MS query" and check if it is installed/enabled.
If it is not installed, please use the Install CD/ full installation copy to reinstall it.

Installed Office 2013 home and Business and its prompting activation for Office 2013 standard

Dear Friends,
Previously i got a trial version of Office 2013 stadard version on my PC and later on i purchased Office home and business version, i uninstalled standard version restarted the PC and installed Office 2013 home and Business OEM pack and activated the prduct.
Now while i am opening any office product like Excel or Word while checking for activation information there its showing me both the versions of office, Office 2013 standard (activation required) and office 2013 Home and business activated. Now my question
is why that office standard 2013 is still showing in my activation page where as the same version was unable to find in my control panel programs and features. please help me out to get rid of this issue.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Maybe you didn't remove the the Standard version completely, I suggest you uninstall Office using the Fix it tool:
Click this Fix it.
Or we can uninstall Office 2013 manually, the steps are long and depend on your installation method, please refer to this article below:
Manually uninstall Office 2013 or Office 365
Note Before you start, you need to know removing Office manually is a long, complex process and might require that you reinstall the operating system if certain steps are done incorrectly.
After the uninstall, install the version you need to check the result.

Office 2013 Home and Business not updating

I have two PCs on my network that I bought from Dell. Both came with a license for Office 2013 Home and Business. Office trial version was already on the machines and i just registered and activated the trial version using the licenses I was given from Dell.
Everything was fine until I was troubleshooting a duplicate email issue in Outlook on of the machines. At this time I noticed Office didn't appear to be on the latest version of click-to-run. I am relatively unfamiliar with click-to-run Office 2013 and the
changes to how it updates. Apparently it does this automatically. Problem is these two machines don't appear to be updating at all. I can't find an update history just a version number. I found online and performed the following troubleshooting steps:
1.) Disable then re-Enable Updates by going into File -> Account -> Update Options
- this seamed to start the downloading of updates but they never installed. That window telling me they were
downloading just goes away and nothing happens.
2.) If "1" doesn't work try an Online Repair.
- the repair begins and ends before completing saying "Something happened". This effectively breaks the install and
a following dialog box explains that Office was uninstalled.
3.) Re-install Office
- but have to run a cleanup tool first to remove remnants of previous install. I then find it difficult to find an
installer that will work at all kept getting "Something happened" message. Finally Dell support found an installer that
works. however even after the install Office will not update.

Per your post, it seems that you activate the Office 2013 Home and Business trial version by Dell provided. I can confirm the update service is available for Office 365 subscription users, but I am not sure whether it is working for the trail version.
You'd better confirm it with you Dell provider or post a new thread in
Office 365 forum, thanks.

Difference Between Adobe After Effects Standard and Pro for Mac

Hi Gang
Can anyone tell me the major differences between After Effects 7.0 'Standard' and 'Pro 7.0' for Mac?
Thanx
Mike

AE 7 Pro contained additional features (such as motion tracking/stabilization) and plugins/effects that were not included in the Standard version.
With the release of CS3, Adobe abandoned the Standard/Pro segregation - now there is only one professionally-featured After Effects.

Co-Existence Office 2013 Standard & Professional

Hi,
We have 4 Remote Desktop Servers 2012R2 with Office 2013 Standard.
We also own Open Licenses for this for each user.
1 user now needs PowerPivots in Excel, which is only available in Excel 2013 Professional, not in the standard edition.
We purchased 1 Open License for this user for Office 2013 Pro.
On a Testserver I've installed Office 2013 Standard with all features.
After that I've installed Excel 2013 Professional.
Now, whenever someone opens "Excel 2013" on Testserver from apps it opens Excel 2013 Professional, not standard.
Apparently Excel has totally forgotten about the Standard version.
I wouldn't even know how I can specifically start Excel Standard instead of Professional since they both seem to share the same exe (C:\Program Files ((x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\excel.exe). It just starts Excel Professional each time.
Is there a way to restrict Excel professional to this one user ? and let other users still use Excel Standard ?
I'd like to know this before I deploy Excel Professional in our RDS pool.
If no one can answer this : Excel Professional it will be for everyone and this thread will serve as my answer the day MS comes complaining about missing Office Professional licenses.

Hi Chloe,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I went ahead and installed Excel 2013 Pro on our RDS pool, on top of the existing Office 2013 Standard.
I've skipped all the other Pro features during install (access, etc.).
We only need PowerPivot and users need to manually activate it in Trust Center > Add Ons. I've only enabled it for the one user who needs it and who is licensed to use it.
So I guess we aren't really breaking any laws here.
Thanks again, Vincent

Lync and Office 2013 Home and Business 'Present PowerPoint' not working

Hello All,
We have an Exchange online E1 plan that includes Lync, that we have been using without problems for the last year or so.
The 'Present PowerPoint' functionality of Lync is very useful, and again it has been working without fault until now. However, for one user who we have upgraded to Office 2013 Home and Business (from Office 2010), it no longer works when she clicks on
present, select PowerPoint and select a .pptx file. She gets the following error message...
'the presentatio.ppx couldn't be converted for presentation because Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed on this computer. Please install VBA and try again.'
The thing is it seems that Visual Basic for Applications is installed as a part of the Lync Basic Install. I re-installed Lync just in case, and when I clicked customize I ensured that Visual Basic for Applications was checked to install as run from the
computer.
In searching online I can see plenty of other people suggesting with Office 2010 to repair the Office install, and select customize and make sure the Visual Basic for Applications is checked to install too. However, with Office 2013 Home and Business
you don't get this option - it seems all or nothing. I have tried repairing both installs, re-installing etc with no luck
So is it that Office 2013 Home and Business incompatible with Lync or can anyone help or throw some ideas at me?
Thanks,
Andrew.

On upgrade to Office 2013 Pro use the full Lync Client

MS Office 2013 Standard Error Code: 25004 on Windows Server 2012 R2

We are doing some server maintenance and upgrades for one of our servers here at work. When trying to install MS Office 2013 Standard from a Volume License we are getting the error 25004 which states the installation cannot go through due to a previous
installation of office on computer from a trial license. Everything has been removed and we've follow numerous steps to remove files in order to get the installation to reach 100%. Unfortunately every step we've taken we are still getting the error 25004.
We've ran Microsoft FixIt as well as followed the steps from numerous articles here. Please if anyone has experience and solved this issue respond back with the solution. As of now this server is down due to installation failure of office.

The 25004 is normally associated with trying to re-installa trial on a machine that has had that trial installed. But you say that is not the case
Did you just click "Run" directly when you try the Fixit tool? The Fix It tool
might not work if you click "Run" directly, Please try to save the Fix it tool locally and then use it. Even if you think you don't have Microsoft Office installed, run it anyways.
You might also need to try the manual removal steps given in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501? If you’ve tried only the Fixit so far, try the manual removal steps now. Then restart and reinstall.
This might be helpful:

Office 2013 Home and Business License Compatability with Windows Server 2012 R2

Are there any license issues with installing Office 2013 Home and Business on Server 2012 R2 operating system?
I am having inconsistent issues installing this software on a server running this operating system. The Office software is not being acccesed by client workstations. Its a stand alone software installation for the server. Are there any
special installation procedures I must follow or software registration procedures I must follow?
Microsoft website states Office 2013 Home and Business is compatible with Server 2012 but doesnt include the an R2 version reference.

Hi,
Please note only Volume Licensing editions of Office may be used on RDS host server. Since Home and Business is a Retail edition, it's not suitable/permitted if you are using RDS.

WSUS and Office 2013 Home and Business

Hello all,
I've actually set up Microsoft MDT 2013 to deploy OSes and Application for my company. This includes Office 2013 Home and Business (Click-2-Run version).
I've downloaded O2013 media with Office Deployment Toolkit, customized it to be deployed automatically through a network share, and then made it available through MDT 2013.
Everything runs fine, except one thing : Our WSUS server offers Office 2013 updates to our windows clients. It becomes very painfull, as it takes a loooong time to apply theses updates. Moreover, there are useless.
3 points :
On my Office 2013 H&B customization file, I've decided to disable any Office 2013 update through the XML File. Without success.
<Updates Enabled="FALSE" />
According to Microsoft, Click-2-Run software does not use WSUS channel.
I don't know it it's usefull, but my WSUS server is hosted on a Windows 2008 R2 Server.
Thanks for your help.

Our WSUS server offers Office 2013 updates to our windows clients. It becomes very painfull, as it takes a loooong time to apply theses updates.
What are those updates? Have them got installed successfully?
As you already know, Office 365 is not patched via WSUS, it pulls updates from Microsoft CDN server which is a web-based service. Therefore, even WSUS downloaded those updates, they should be marked as "Not Applicable".
Do you have any other MSI-based Office instances on the machine?

I can find the download option for the Visio 2013 Professional version, but as we are likely to need only the Standard version I want to download the trial for this to ensure that it covers all that we will need it for, which I can't check if the only version
available is the Professional trial?
