Install Kms Host Office 2016 Activator

First of all, you have to find and copy a KMS Host key for Office 2019 or 2016 in your personal section on Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) website. The next step is to download and install on the KMS server the following extension package – Microsoft Office Volume License Pack.

After installation or update of your KMS server, activate it with CSVLK (so called KMS Host Key). You can get this key on Microsoft Volume License (VLSC) website. The key you need is called Windows Srv 2016 DataCtr/Std KMS and is located in License - Relationship Summary - Product Keys. Then install the key using this command. I am successfully activating office 2016, but I'm using the AD-Based activation now, as this is much easier (IMO) than KMS This was exactly the issue. I spun up a new PVS maintenance image for each vDisk, ran ospprearm and slmgr /rearm on each of them, then shut them down and promoted them to production.

As with the experience I had when configuring an existing KMS server to activate Windows 10 desktops:

Installing and configuring Windows 10 KMS Activation with Windows Server 2012 R2

… I also found that configuring the server for Office 2016 activations wasn’t as straight forward as using the VAMT tool so this blog post serves to demonstrate the steps to get a KMS server activating desktops with Office 2016.

Host

Begin by logging into the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center at:

Activator

… then search for Office Professional Plus 2016 Key Management Service Host to obtain the package:

Office Professional Plus/Standard 2016 32 Bit English KMS

Extract the ISO package to your KMS server:

SW_DVD5_Office_Professional_Plus_2016_W32_English_KMS_MLF_X20-42865.iso

Then execute kms_host.vbs:

The Volume Activation Tools wizard will now launch:

Proceed through the wizard and install the unique Office 2016 KMS key:

Activate the product key:

Restart the Software Protection service:

At this point, the KMS server should now be able to activate Office 2016 desktops. Note that you need atleast 5 Office 2016 desktops with a unique CMIDs before the KMS server will activate the installations. The following information entry in the Key Management Service logs indicate the threshold has not been met:

An activation request has been processed.

Info:

0xC004F042,5,WIN10P-023.domain.com,fa366b19-c48b-4ef8-a1bb-2f4718b477b3,2015/12/23 13:01,0,2,24510,d450596f-894d-49e0-966a-fd39ed4c4c64

Kms Auto Activator Office 2016

Once the threshold of 5 has been met, the following informational log will be written:

Office Kms Activator 2016 Ultimate

An activation request has been processed.

Info:

0x0,5,WIN10P-022.domain.com,e35750c1-aca7-417d-859e-490bf1e61bce,2015/12/23 15:30,0,2,24362,d450596f-894d-49e0-966a-fd39ed4c4c64

Also note that I did not find the Volume Activation Management Tool useful for Office 2016 activations as attempting to install or activate installations would throw the following error:
