‘Get genuine Office’ banner
+

+
TL;DR To solve it, use the latest abbodi1406’s KMS_VL_ALL or
+MAS to activate Office.
+
+
+
Reasons
+
+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”
+In case of 32-bit Office installed on 64-bit Windows, Office
+checks the KMS server existence in corresponding WOW6432Node registry
+key as well.
+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.
+km-s8.MSG-uides.com km-s9.MSG-uides.com
+0.0.0.0(Remove hyphen)
+First two are public KMS servers and last one in simple words is neither
+a public or private IP.
+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.
+
+
+
+
+
Solutions:
+
Please find below various ways you can avoid this banner. Simplest
+option for you is to just use a Office activation tool mentioned
+here.
+
+
+
+
2- Manual Activation
+
In this section I’m only going to mention how to setup KMS server in
+registry properly.
+
+If using Public KMS server:
+Since they can put any public KMS server in blacklist, as a permanent
+solution, we can instead use server IP instead of hostname.
+If using private KMS server IP:
+Make sure to use a valid private IP address.
+
+
Please find below how to set the KMS server address in registry.
+Example with a private IP 10.0.0.10
+
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\0ff1ce15-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663" /f
+
+reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\0ff1ce15-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663" /f /reg:32
+
+reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" /f /v KeyManagementServiceName /t REG_SZ /d "10.0.0.10"
+
+reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" /f /v KeyManagementServiceName /t REG_SZ /d "10.0.0.10" /reg:32
+
+
+
+
3- Install VL Office
+
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.
+
Please find below guide on how to properly install Volume C2R
+Office.
+
Clear previous installation of Office:
+
+Uninstall the office with App and Features option in Windows
+settings.
+Run Full_Scrub.cmd file from Office
+Scrubber (Mirror)
+by abbodi1406 and reboot the system.
+Full Scrub is optional, you can skip this step if you want to save
+outlook related data.
+It’s recommended to at-least run Remove_Licenses.cmd file
+from this package.
+
+
Install Office 2021 VL with Official method:
+
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.
+
+Download Office
+Deployment Tool (ODT)
+Copy the downloaded setup.exe file to the root of
+the C drive, i.e. C:\setup.exe
+Goto config.office.com
+Select
+Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021 - Volume License 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.
+Once you go through all the options, click on the export button
+and it will download a file named
+Configuration.xml
+Copy the downloaded Configuration.xml file to the
+root of the C drive, i.e. C:\Configuration.xml
+Open the command prompt as admin and run the below commands
+cd /d C:\
+setup.exe /configure Configuration.xml
+
+
It will now download and install Office. You can activate it with
+your preferred method.
+
+
+
+
4- Change Update Channel
+
+If we change the Insider or Current update channel
+to Monthly Enterprise or Semi-Annual channel then such
+non-genuine banners won’t appear by default.
+Before doing this, make sure your Office update channel is either
+Insider or Current.
+Make sure Internet is connected
+Open command prompt as admin and enter below lines and press
+enter,
+
+
+
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration /v CDNBaseUrl /t REG_SZ /d "http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/55336B82-A18D-4DD6-B5F6-9E5095C314A6" /f
+
+reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration /v UpdateUrl /f
+
+reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration /v UpdateToVersion /f
+
+reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Updates /v UpdateToVersion /f
+
+reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\OfficeUpdate\ /f
+
+"%CommonProgramFiles%\microsoft shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe" /update user
