Office 2013 license pack does not allow me to activate key within configuration wizard

Question

Hello,
 I have a KMS host running Office 2010 activations for our client computers which is running fine. I installed the Office 2013 license pack on the same host. However, in the configuration wizard it doesn't allow me to activate the product key. Is there
a way around this?
My client laptop isn't activating against the KMS host, and I have Office 2013 installed on my laptop. This is what I get when I run
cscript ospp.vbs /act on my client laptop

Hi,
Please check if your KMS host key for Office 2013 is valid and you can try to activate the KMS host by telephone.
To get the key for the Microsoft Office 2013 KMS, sign in to Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center.
On this page, don’t choose the Key Management Service Host Key. Choose the Office version you are licensed for instead, and look for the KMS key for that version.

If issue persists, it is recommended to post the question in Office forums for further troubleshooting.
