<h1>Get genuine Office banner</h1>
<p><img src="office-license-is-not-genuine.png" /></p>
<p><strong>TL;DR</strong> To solve it, use the latest abbodi1406s <a
href="https://github.com/abbodi1406/KMS_VL_ALL_AIO/">KMS_VL_ALL</a> or
<a href="https://massgrave.dev/">MAS</a> to activate Office.</p>

<div id="reasons" class="section level2">
<h2>Reasons</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>Office Click-to-Run builds (since February 2021) that are
2022-08-10 19:01:29 +02:00
activated with KMS check the existence of the KMS server name in the
registry. If the KMS server is not present, a banner is shown in Office
2022-07-25 20:03:20 +02:00
programs notifying that “Office isnt licensed properly”</p></li>
2022-08-10 19:01:29 +02:00
<li><p>In the case of 32-bit Office installed on 64-bit Windows, Office
checks the KMS server existence in the corresponding WOW6432Node
registry key as well.</p></li>
<li><p>Apart from this, they also detect if a registered KMS server is
on their blacklist or not. As far as I know, the below 3 addresses are
blacklisted.</p>
2022-07-25 20:03:20 +02:00
<p><code>km-s8.MSG-uides.com</code> <code>km-s9.MSG-uides.com</code>
<code>0.0.0.0</code>(Remove hyphen)<br />
2022-08-10 19:01:29 +02:00
The first two are public KMS servers and the last one in simple words is
neither public nor private IP.</p></li>
<li><p>Please note that these checks are not performed by Office if the
proper installation of the Volume version of Office is done with
2022-07-25 20:03:20 +02:00
Perpetual2019 / 2021 VL channel.</p></li>

<h2>Solutions:</h2>
2022-08-10 19:01:29 +02:00
<p>Please find below various ways you can avoid this banner. The
simplest option for you is to just use an Office activation tool
mentioned here.</p>

<div id="activation-tools" class="section level3">
<h3>1- Activation Tools</h3>

<li>Use the latest abbodi1406s <a

<h3>2- Manual Activation</h3>
2022-08-10 19:01:29 +02:00
<p>In this section, Im only going to mention how to set up the KMS
server in the registry properly.</p>
2022-07-25 20:03:20 +02:00
<ul>
<li><p><strong>If using Public KMS server:</strong><br />
2022-08-10 19:01:29 +02:00
Since they can put any public KMS server on the blacklist, as a
permanent solution, we can instead use server IP instead of
hostname.</p></li>
2022-07-25 20:03:20 +02:00
<li><p><strong>If using private KMS server IP:<br />
</strong>Make sure to use a valid private IP address.</p></li>
</ul>
2022-08-10 19:01:29 +02:00
<p>Please find below how to set the KMS server address in the registry.
For example with a private IP <code>10.0.0.10</code></p>
2022-07-25 20:03:20 +02:00
<pre><code>reg delete &quot;HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\0ff1ce15-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663&quot; /f
reg delete &quot;HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\0ff1ce15-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663&quot; /f /reg:32

<h3>3- Install VL Office</h3>
2022-08-10 19:01:29 +02:00
<p>As mentioned in the reasons section, these checks are performed only
if Retail Office is installed and later converted to VL. The office
doesnt perform any such checks if the proper installation of the VL
office is done.</p>
<p>Please find below a guide on how to properly install Volume C2R
2022-07-25 20:03:20 +02:00
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
2022-08-10 19:01:29 +02:00
outlook-related data.<br />
2022-07-25 20:03:20 +02:00
Its 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
2022-08-10 19:01:29 +02:00
is no ISO or any one-click solution available. Below is the simplest
guide to installing VL office.</p>
2022-07-25 20:03:20 +02:00
<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
2022-08-10 19:01:29 +02:00
office suites section. You can add Visio and Project apps if you need
them. Customize other things and leave them as default where you dont
understand something.</p></li>
2022-07-25 20:03:20 +02:00
<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>
