Corporate customers tin activate Office products inside the corporate network by using the local KMS server without connecting to Microsoft activation servers on the Internet. Earlier we accept already considered the peculiarities of KMS activation of MS Office 2013, and the main principles and approaches to the MS Office 2021, 2019, and 2016 activation on a KMS server remained unchanged.

Tip.

1. This guide applies only to corporate (volume) Part 2019/2016 and Function LTSC 2021 editions and doesn't cover Function 365 ProPlus, managed via the subscription (licensing differences betwixt Role 2019 and Function 365);
2. When deploying a KMS server to activate Windows operating systems, y'all can use the latest KMS host primal to activate all before Windows editions. However, to activate previous versions of Office on the KMS server, you need to install the appropriate volume license packs and actuate them with its ain KMS host cardinal. For example, KMS for MS Function 2019 doesn't let to activate previous Office versions (Office 2016, 2013, and 2010).

Enable-NetFirewallRule -Name SPPSVC-In-TCP

A KMS activation entry for your version of Function should appear in the Product Cardinal Management listing.

Close the Volume Activation sorcerer, and the Software Protection service will be restarted.

You can get data about the installed KMS key for your version of Office equally follows:

For Role LTSC 2021: cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv 47F3B983-7C53-4D45-ABC6-BCD91E2DD90A

For Part 2019 – cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv 70512334-47B4-44DB-A233-BE5EA33B914C

For Office 2016 – cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv 98ebfe73-2084-4c97-932c-c0cd1643bea7

and run the control for Office 2016:

slmgr /ato 98ebfe73-2084-4c97-932c-c0cd1643bea7

Close the VAT window, and press ENTER in the update tool console. The information about the installed KMS cardinal can be obtained using SKU-ID (displayed in the concluding footstep of the KMS server installation):

slmgr.vbs /dlv 98ebfe73-2084-4c97-932c-c0cd1643bea7 – for Office 2016

slmgr.vbs /dlv 70512334-47B4-44DB-A233-BE5EA33B914C – for Function 2019

KMS Activation Error "vmw.exe has stopped working" on Windows Server 2019/2016

If you are trying to install a KMS server for Office 2021/2019/2016 on Windows Server 2019/2016, go on in mind that it has a number of problems with the launch of the Book Activated Services Tool. When you try to activate an Office KMS server through the Book Activated Services GUI, y'all can receive an mistake:

Vmw.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify you if a solution is available.

I've met somewhere before that VAMT currently supports only operating systems up to Windows 8.1. And when installing the KMS server role on Windows Server 2016 or Windows 10, the executable file Vmw.exe crashes.

Equally a workaround, y'all demand to activate the KMS server from the command prompt subsequently installing volumelicensepack. Install the KMS Host fundamental (which y'all received with VLSC) with the control:

slmgr -ipk <Office_2016_2019_2022_KMS_Host_Key>

Then activate the KMS server itself (you need directly Internet access):

slmgr.vbs /ato 98ebfe73-2084-4c97-932c-c0cd1643bea7

For Office 2019, use the SKU ID – 70512334-47B4-44DB-A233-BE5EA33B914C

For Office 2021 – 47F3B983-7C53-4D45-ABC6-BCD91E2DD90A

Now your Part KMS server based on Windows Server 2019/2016 is activated and can be used to activate clients.
