Re: Activate Ms Office 2016 Professional Plus Using Cmd
Kym Cavrak
Due to some third-party software, we have to install office in the 32 bit Version, but it must not be in a path with "(" or ")" in it (This is an issue with an oracle client, and we definitely can not change here). So when we tried office 2013 and therefore simply bought an single "Home and Business" license, we soon recognized that with the (Irony on) wonderful (Irony off) Click-to-Run Installer we can not achieve this. After hours with the Microsoft support, we found out that the msi Installer for Office 2013 we need for this, is only shipped with volume licenses.Since we do not want volume licenses, I did a little research, and found out that some people that need to change the path of the install location, installed the trial version of office which comes with the msi Installer, and then activated it.So my question is: Which license key do I need to activate the trial. The trial itself is "Professional Plus", but can I activate it with a "Professional" license? Since "Professional Plus" only seems available via volume licensing, which we still do not want...
After another hours and hours I spend with the Microsoft Support I clearly got the Statement this is not possible.It is even not possible to activate the trial with a key you purchase by clicking on the buy button in the yellow pane that informs you this is just a Trial. (Beside your buying the full pro plus Version).Maybe oneday somebody will face the same Problem.
Well the steps I followed for activating was Click on License Options -> Convert to Full.It'll ask you to buy a new product key of final version of Office 2013 or enter the product key if you have already purchased it. Just click on "Enter Key" button:Though its not possible to activate a Professional Plus with Professional license.Try to buy a key from activation page.
If you experience any difficulties activating your Microsoft Office Professional Plus online, you can use this tutorial to quickly and easily activate using the phone activation method. This method will allow you to activate office 2019 by phone. Rest assured all of our codes are fully guaranteed and you will not have any problems once you activate office 2013 by phone (or any other version).
So for using Office 2019 pro plus for one of the user, purchase Office 365 Business Essential or Enterprise E1 for that user (as these subscriptions don't have Office Applications) and install this Office 2019 license on that users' system and connect the system with this users' Office 365 credentials.
You will be getting all the features with security updates included but you won't be getting any new features and updates of major releases and you have to pay the full amount when a new major release comes but with Office 365 apps you will always have the latest version as it is subscription based.
There isn't a licence to assign as such for Office 2019, you'd just activate Office 2019 on the PC where it's going to be used. This can vary depending on how Office 2019 was bought but this is the main article that goes through the option - Activate Office.
Last year I bought the Office 2007 Upgrade at Staples and on the back of the box there's a chart summary of the different versions. It says that only the Student Edition can be used on up to 3 computers. I got the Standard Edition and it doesn't say anything about how many computers you can install this edition on. This most likely appears to mean that it can only be installed on 1 computer. I talked to Microsoft customer support and the lady said that my edition can be installed on 2 computers (but the box doesn't actually say this). However, I have installed and activated this on 3-4 computers now. I would have expected that activation would have been denied after the 1st but they were all activated on 3 different computers. For the 4th computer it was one of the earlier 3 computers but with a different hard drive and DVD-ROM drive (so I'm not sure if that would really count as a 4th different computer but you get my point). I'd like to note that I'm not trying to take advantage and share the software with the world. The 1st install & activation was less than one year ago on my Compaq computer. That computer broke down so I got rid of it. So the 2nd install & activation was with my new HP that I bought 3 months ago. Because of a hardware problem with that pc (yes, after only 3 months) I decided to give that computer to my brother-in-law (he didn't need the broken hardware components). Then I bought this Dell which I received last week. So the 3rd install & activation occurred last week on this computer. When I gave the HP pc to my brother-in-law last week, I gave it to him with a completely new hard drive and DVD-ROM drive and then installed & activated the software for the 4th time. At any one of these times I was expecting Office 2007 to say something like "activation denied" but that never happened. The software was installed & activated every time.
So I don't really understand how they are keeping track of this. If you buy Office 2007 and then decide to buy a new computer, how are they keeping track of this? Are you not allowed to use the software you bought if you buy a new computer? What if the older computer crashes and so you need to buy another computer? On the Microsoft website it says that the software identifies your hardware in some way so if you try re-installing and activating it on another computer, it will be able to tell (and thus, deny the activation I assume). But this has not happened with my Office 2007 and by the way in the past I was also able to install & activate a purchased version of Office XP Home on several of my computers as well. By the way, this is the reason why I always buy the Office or Windows Upgrade CD at a retail store. I'd never buy Office if it came pre-installed on the computer as a trial (like they do with HP). It's good to have the actual CD's physically in case you need to re-install (or as you can see here, if you get a new computer).
The way it works for iPod and purchased songs on iTunes is that you are allowed 3 "Activations" on 3 different devices. If you buy a new computer, you have to manually "De-activate" the old computer from iTunes so the old computer no longer recognizes purchased songs. If you don't do this you wasted an "Activation" and you only have 2 left. I would have assumed that Microsoft would have a similar process whereby if you uninstall the Office software, it would automatically send a code that this software can be activated again. But this doesn't appear to be happening. It appears you don't have to uninstall Office on your old computer and you can still install & activate it on your new computer.
Is there a maximum number of times Microsoft allows you to activate their software? Even the Microsoft rep didn't appear to know much about this. Maybe they are saying this on paper but are not being too strict about it. Is it possible that Microsoft will really give a user several activations and only deny it if they see a significant number of activations in a short period of time? Has anyone else ever activated Microsoft software on different computers when it says you can only do it for one? Has anyone ever received an "activation denied" message before? Does anyone know the true answer?
In that post it reads: "You may reassign a license, but not on a short-term basis (i.e., not within 90 days of the last assignment). If you reassign a license, the device to which you reassign the license becomes the new licensed device for that license."
In that case, what happens to the old device? Does Office 2007 simply stop working in the old device? I don't think so. When I installed the Office 2007 on the 3rd computer, it still remained on the 2nd computer - it did not automatically uninstall or de-activate. Also, the 3rd computer was installed with Office 2007 within 90 days of installing it with the 2nd computer. There was no problem in activation. And keep in mind that this software had also been activated less than 1 year ago with the very 1st computer, which eventually broke down. Now just last week when I gave the 2nd computer to my brother-in-law, I re-installed Office 2007 into it but with a different hard drive (this may or may not constitute a different computer). So that's basically a 4th successful installation & activation for software that I thought would be only activated for 1 (or 2 at the most) users. And this 4th activation occurrred only days after the 3rd activation.
I think that Microsoft puts up rules and limits for how many computers the software may be installed into, but I have to think that they are not being absolutely strict about it. They probably monitor it and only stop it if they see a significant number of activations for the same software (although I can't be sure of that either). It could be something Microsoft keeps internally but doesn't tell the public. But again I can't be sure. I have read other forums where people have bought Office 2007 and installed it on several computers but the box would not mention anything about this (like my box). One person even had a problem with activation, but then after talking to a rep over the phone and explaining the situation, he was able to get it activated over the phone. So something tells me that they are not being strict about this (or appearing not to be strict). I wish someone knew and had a concrete answer...
