Solution:

If you are seeing this popup on Office apps, then the below steps can resolve it.

-
-

‘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.

    • +
  • Use the latest KMS_VL_ALL (Mirror) or MAS to activate Office. 
    +  
    • +
  • If your office is on insider build 16.0.15227.20000 or later, then open the command prompt as admin and apply the below commands, after running any of the above activators in anymode.
    + (Above activators will be updated soon)

-

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.

-
-
-

1- Activation Tools

-
    -
  • Use the latest abbodi1406’s KMS_VL_ALL or -MAS to activate Office.
    • -
-
-
-
-

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\0ff1ce15-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663" /f /v KeyManagementServiceName /t REG_SZ /d "10.0.0.1"

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.

    • -

  • 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

    • -

-
-

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\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\OfficeUpdate\ /f
-
-"%CommonProgramFiles%\microsoft shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe" /update user
    -
