+<p><strong>TL;DR</strong> To solve it, use the latest abbodi1406’s <a

+<a href="https://massgrave.dev/">MAS</a> to activate Office.</p>

+<div id="reasons" class="section level2">
+<h2>Reasons</h2>
<ul>
- <li>Use the latest&nbsp;<a href="https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/838808/" target="_blank">KMS_VL_ALL</a>&nbsp;(<a href="https://pastebin.com/cpdmr6HZ" target="_blank">Mirror</a>)&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href="https://massgrave.dev/" target="_blank">MAS</a> to activate Office.&nbsp;<br />
- &nbsp;</li>
- <li>If your office is on&nbsp;insider build 16.0.15227.20000 or later, then open the command prompt as admin and apply the below commands, <strong>after</strong> running any of the above activators in anymode.<br />
- (Above activators will be updated soon)</li>
+<li><p>Office Click-to-Run builds (since February 2021) that are
+activated with KMS checks the existence of the KMS server name in the
+registry. If KMS server is not present, a banner is shown in Office
+programs notifying that “Office isn’t licensed properly”</p></li>
+<li><p>In case of 32-bit Office installed on 64-bit Windows, Office
+checks the KMS server existence in corresponding WOW6432Node registry
+key as well.</p></li>
+<li><p>Apart from this, they also detect if registered KMS server is in
+their blacklist or not. As far as I know, they blacklisted below 3
+addresses.</p>
+<p><code>km-s8.MSG-uides.com</code> <code>km-s9.MSG-uides.com</code>
+<code>0.0.0.0</code>(Remove hyphen)<br />
+First two are public KMS servers and last one in simple words is neither
+a public or private IP.</p></li>
+<li><p>Please note that these checks are not performed by Office if
+proper installation of Volume version of Office is done with
+Perpetual2019 / 2021 VL channel.</p></li>

+<h2>Solutions:</h2>
+<p>Please find below various ways you can avoid this banner. Simplest
+option for you is to just use a Office activation tool mentioned

+<h3>1- Activation Tools</h3>

+<h3>2- Manual Activation</h3>
+<p>In this section I’m only going to mention how to setup KMS server in
+registry properly.</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p><strong>If using Public KMS server:</strong><br />
+Since they can put any public KMS server in blacklist, as a permanent
+solution, we can instead use server IP instead of hostname.</p></li>
+<li><p><strong>If using private KMS server IP:<br />
+</strong>Make sure to use a valid private IP address.</p></li>
+</ul>
+<p>Please find below how to set the KMS server address in registry.
+Example with a private IP <code>10.0.0.10</code></p>

+<h3>3- Install VL Office</h3>
+<p>As mentioned in reasons section, these checks are performed only if
+Retail Office is installed and later converted to VL. Office doesn’t
+perform any such checks if proper installation of VL office is done.</p>
+<p>Please find below guide on how to properly install Volume C2R
+Office.</p>
+<p><strong>Clear previous installation of Office:</strong></p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>Uninstall the office with App and Features option in Windows
+settings.</p></li>
+<li><p>Run <code>Full_Scrub.cmd</code> file from <a
+href="https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1466365/">Office
+Scrubber</a> (<a
+href="https://github.com/abbodi1406/WHD/tree/master/scripts">Mirror</a>)
+by abbodi1406 and reboot the system.<br />
+Full Scrub is optional, you can skip this step if you want to save
+outlook related data.<br />
+It’s recommended to at-least run <code>Remove_Licenses.cmd</code> file
+from this package.</p></li>
+</ul>
+<p><strong>Install Office 2021 VL with Official method:</strong></p>
+<p>Please note that in the official VL office installation method, there
+is no ISO or any one click solution available. Below is the simplest
+guide to install VL office.</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>Download <a
+href="https://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/wsus/setup.exe">Office
+Deployment Tool</a> (ODT)</p></li>
+<li><p>Copy the downloaded <code>setup.exe</code> file to the root of
+the C drive, i.e. <code>C:\setup.exe</code></p></li>
+<li><p>Goto <a
+href="https://config.office.com/deploymentsettings">config.office.com</a></p></li>
+<li><p>Select
+<code>Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021 - Volume License</code> in the
+office suites section. You can add Visio and Project apps if you need.
+Customize other things and leave as default where you don’t understand
+something.</p></li>
+<li><p>Once you go through all the options, click on the export button
+and it will download a file named
+<code>Configuration.xml</code></p></li>
+<li><p>Copy the downloaded <code>Configuration.xml</code> file to the
+root of the C drive, i.e. <code>C:\Configuration.xml</code></p></li>
+<li><p>Open the command prompt as admin and run the below commands</p>
+<pre><code>cd /d C:\
+setup.exe /configure Configuration.xml</code></pre></li>
+</ul>
+<p>It will now download and install Office. You can activate it with
+your preferred method.</p>
