Office 2010 KMS Activation

HiI am trying to setup KMS on 2008 for activating WIndows 7 Office 2010 Citrix Virtual machines. At first I did not have a KMS key so I had to call Microsoft (it was a MAK Key). I installed the 2010 KMS installer for Office and used the KMS key to install it. It says it is licensed and it is showing in DNS. Also I am able to ping to the KMS server form the client to the client from the KMS server. Also I tried to activate on at least 5 pcs.c:\Windows\System32cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv bfe7a195-4f8f-4f0b-a622-cf13c7d16864Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

the kms count of 50 would be relating to the windows client licence, as windows client requires 25 to begin activating and stops incrementiing at 50 (double 25).
windows server is 5 to begin and stops at 10
office 2010 begins at 5 and stops at 10.
so, ignore the count of 50 as that's not what you are interested in.
ensure you are using "cscript slmgr.vbs /dli all" on your kms console, as wscript will not show you the whole story in a pleasing way.
i paste or redirect the output into a text file so i can read it more easily.

How do I update my Office 2010 KMS key?

I renewed our EES contract with Microsoft and in turn got a new Office 2010 key. Our current clients are saying I have 30 days to activate so I would like to update the KMS key on the server with the new one so they'll pick it up. I haven't found any solid
instructions anywhere so am posting a new question. How do I update the KMS key for Office 2010? What commands do I need to run?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the reply. That got me a little further. I updated my EES agreement this summer and got new keys, so thought maybe that was the issue with Office giving me the "This copy of Microsoft Office is not activated." when launching any Office
product. I installed and activated the new key now but am still getting the same error in Office. The error code it gives me is 0xc004f074. Looking into that error it looks like a KMS issue. These were activating fine last year and I haven't made any changes
except just updating the key today, but it was doing this before that.
Here is what was returned before updating the key:

Office 2013 KMS Activation Issues When Outlook 2010 Has Been Installed

Hi Everyone,
I have been looking everywhere for the answer to this question. I have been setting up a KMS server host for Office 2013 on Server 2012 R2. The issue I have ran into is that all of our computers currently have Office 2010 installed. Our Office 2013 KMS server
is installed on a different server than the KMS server that activates Office 2010. (Different Virtual Machine) If Office 2010 has been installed the KMS server will not activate with the upgrade to 2013. Troubleshooting below:
1. Leave office 2010 installed and simply click upgrade - did not work.
2. Completly uninstalled Office 2010 and tried ospp.vbs /act and ospp.vbs /act - did not work.
3. Completly uninstalled Office 2013 with all other versions of Office 2010 uninstalled. Did a fresh install of Office 2013 after a reboot and verified working.
Can anyone explain to me either why this is happening as well as a solution. I realize that I have a work around right now but it takes some time.

So, you have 2 KMShosts?
Host_A is KMShost for OFF2010
Host_B is KMShost for OFF2013
Are both hosts published in DNS?
(check with: nslookup -type=any _vlmcs._tcp)
Clients can resolve and connect to both hosts?
Or are you using static KMS location (do you manually configure your KMSclients to a specific hostname or IPaddress)?
Typically, a KMSclient will perform discovery via DNS lookup, and will try each KMShost until success occurs.
Possibly, when you installed WS2012R2, you chose ADBA instead of KMS ? (check the VA role on this server to confirm the mode)
You can check upon the KMShost, execute: cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv all
Another option, might be for you to co-host OFF2010 KMS and OFF2013 KMS upon the same (new WS2012R2) server, and de-commission the old KMShost function including removal of the DNS record for it. (Assuming this is consistent with your plans)
Example for OFF2013 ADBA:

Change Office 2010 MAK activation to KMS

Hi,
I have a computer with Office 2010 Standard installed and activated with a MAK key
I need to change the activation from MAK to KMS, in all my computers.
I already have a server with KMS host installed and my DNS configured.
How can I do?

Check the following steps listed in the link:

Office 2010 version & activation

Has anyone been able to create a report to show office 2010 version 14.0.4567.00? Currently I see only 14.0
Is there a report to show if office products are activated?

I'm not sure you'd be able to file that sort of report, unless you can extract a registry value in a report? Activation is done by the KMS Client under Windows and if you have a KMS server hosting that activation, you can export the hostnames of the workstations that have registered, which time, and in which "state" they are in. If you're using MAK or another non-KMS variant, I don't know of a way.
As for the version, look through the KB lists until you see the KB or patch that matches the version you're looking for and see if that will populate the report?

Office 2010 MAK Activation

I want to deploy Office 2010 Professional Plus to my users and activate it using MAK. I tested the deployment using a startup script in a test environment and the product installed silently according to the settings in the MST I created using OCT. The
only problem seems to be activation - it requires the user to have administrative privileges to activate Office and the UAC prompt (Windows 7 Enterprise) pops up when the user tries to activate. Is there a way to make office automatically activate itself -
either immediately after installation or after the trial period expires? Windows 7 does this 3 days after installation, does Office offer this feature? It'd be quite dull if automatic activation was not available since all the effort in creating a deployment
that does not require administrative credentials from the user would be useless when in the end an administrator must clear the UAC prompt manually. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi Guys, I am having the same problem as yours Kathy and Darius, problem in product key activation for Project 2010. It's not working even if you use AUTO_ACTIVATE = 1 via OCT, or changing the reg value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform], I
even tried using the /act, cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:, still I am having the ERROR
CODE: 0x80072EFD and still requires
a Product Key Activation..... Does anyone from you already figured out on how to fix this problem on a limited user account? thanks in advance!!!

Windows 8.1-Office 2010 Product Activation Failed

I've tried suggested fixes from other posts, but haven't been able to resolve this issue...we recently purchased several Dell Venue 11 Pro tablets with Win 8.1 Pro. MS Office Professional Plus 2010 installs fine, but within a short time we get a 'product
activation failed' message in all Office programs. After inputting the MAK activation code, it seems to accept it and goes through finishing installation (which I found odd), but after shutting down the program and restarting and even rebooting the computer,
the "Product Activation Failed" message reappears. I have tried numerous times and even went through the telephone activation which seems to complete successfully without error, but does not clear the failed message. I have attempted running the
activation wizard as the network admin too, to no avail.
We use this version of Office 2010 on XP, Vista and 7 workstations with no issues; only issue is on Win 8.1 devices.
Any assistance or advice is appreciated.

Hi，
As this license issue is related to office, to receive better support, it's recommnended to seek help in the office forum.

Office 2010 - KMS licensed/Xendesktop - rearm issue

Hi All
Originally asked this question in office 2010 install forum but got redirected here.
Short question is this, the rearm count on Office 2010 standard has been reached and I need to reset this count. I cant find any means to do so. I tried to uninstall office but this does not reset it or change its unique identifier for KMS (CMID)
In order to get deployment configured correctly, I need to reset the rearm count so I can use ospprearm. Anyone have any ideas?
Also tried speaking to Microsoft, was less then amusing. Being bounced back and forth to finally be told to log it through support.microsoft.com/oas , which turns out you need to specify a contract number or credit card etc. I don't have any Microsoft support
agreement, just looking for a little assist!! I was able to sort out the deployment of windows by resetting the rearm count surely its possible for office!!
Failing the option to rearm office. If there was a way to remove its CMID, this would work for me as well.

o.O I might have figured this out. I've managed to get another CMID generated with a bit of messign around. Just doing a full test to ensure multiple VDI's get diff CMID's then ill edit this post with details *fingers crossed
Ok managed to resolve this not only does this get the CMID sorted but the rearm count too!!
I've not done full testing of each step but this is exactly what I did and it works
1. Kbfix it ran to uninstall office 2010
2. Delete the HKLM\software\Microsoft\office & HKLM\software\Microsoft\officesoftwareprotectionplatform (had to mess about with permissions to do this). This is the main point, something in one of these registry keys must hold both CMID and rearm count.
Nothing obvious thou.
3. Reboot and then reinstall office
4. run ospprearm and windows rearm. (office rearm was required for me as I tested this after step 3 to check new CMID was created first). NOTE CMID for office is generated on starting office or anything office related (including ospp.vbs to check CMID).
If you didn't do this , just windows rearm is required.
If like me you are using Xendesktop and this is a golden image, this is point where you want to power it down, snapshot it and then provide this snapshot to the virtual PC's so they pick up unique CMID's for both windows and office on next boot up :D

Office 2010 Professional activation on new computer

Hello,
I have Office 2010 Professional and it was installed on my old computer, but since it crashed (motherboard went bad) I bought a new computer. Since the old computer doesn't work I can't uninstall Office 2010 Pro from it.
My question: Will I be able to install and activate it on the new computer, as it is the retail boxed version of Office (not OEM or product key card version)?
If yes, can I just select activate using the Internet or will I have do this by phone?
Thanks.

Hi,
you should be able to successfully activate this product.
Try internet activation first, if that does not succeed, telephone activation (automatic) or assisted, may be needed.

Office 2010 Plus activation after VLSC access expired

I purchased Office Pro Plus through Volume Licensing with the license valid up to 2016. No Software Assurance.
Can I still activate office after the license ends in 2016?
e.g. if in 2017 I'm still using the same version of office and upgrade hardware, can I still activate office?

For formal advice on Licensing, contact your reseller or MS directly, since VL agreements are complex, and there are various types, with differing Product Use Rights, terms & conditions.
It sounds like you might have purchased the perpetual license, so I'm not sure what you mean by "valid up to 2016"?
Perpetual, is perpetual (forever). But in practical terms, once the product reaches end-of-support, even activating can be problematic if you need help, or the activation service is no longer offered (as is the case for Office2003 Retail products, anyway)

what does the client side need. Do they need a kms key? how do I check

Win7 - Using KMS Server for Office 2010 - How can you query that it's actually using KMS?

Hi All,
Our Desktop Support alerted me to an issue in which a client received a pop-up notification about activating Office within 30 days.
I started to dig into our KMS Service, having inherited it from a prior, now gone for greener pastures colleague of mine.
I see the Office 2010 key on the KMS Server and there is a corresponding DNS SRV record for the Server.
Here is that information:

Thing is, I try querying for the KMS status on the Win7 machine and there is no entry anywhere that corresponds to Office 2010:

Where can I make certain that Win7's Office 2010 is in fact using KMS for licensing? Is it in the registry?
Thank you very much for your time,

Hi,
We might consider to use Volume Activation Management Tool to check the Activation Information:
Reporting Activation Information Using Volume Activation Management Tool 2.0
Or we could take a look into the application log for event ID 12288, 12289 as well as 12290. (the 12288 and 12289 should be in pairs: client query-kms response)
More information, please take a look at the below articles:

Hope this may help

Office 2010 Volume License Activation

I am asking this here because it pertains to server 2012 R2 standard. We are education and have volume keys for office 2010, both kms and mak. So we don't have to go to each and every pc and enter the mak key, we want to use the kms key. I installed
the volume management role of the server. However, when walking through the configuration, it assumes you are using a kms key for server. We have a mak key for the server and want to activate office 2010 using kms key that was provided when we bought
the application.
Here is the error we get when opening office 2012:
This copy of Microsoft Office is designed for corporate or institutional customers.
Connect your computer to your corporate network to complete activation. Your system administrator can help. Problem is, I took over this computer when my brother died in Deceember of 2011. He did not work for a corporation but may have had his own small business. Help - how can I activate but not Professional Plus. And unfortunately, I have absolutely no paperwork. The girlfriend took the box that had all important papers.
I also tried the VAMT, this results in cannot connect to WMI service. How can we activate office 2010 with our kms key on our 2010 server?

Hi Forgiven,
If you want to activate office with the KMS method, first we need to
setup Microsoft Office 2010 KMS Host on Windows Server 2012 R2.
To install Office KMS Host License Pack on Windows Server, then enter KMS host key.
However, to install Office 2010 KMS Host License Pack on Windows Server 2012R2, a similar discussion is for your reference:

To activate office with KMS, please follow this article:
