On Windows Server 2012 and volume license editions of Windows 8, you can use your same KMS host key to set up Active Directory-Based activation.Ĥ324.1002 update extends the Key Management Service (KMS) to support co-hosting of Office 2013 and Office 2016 on Windows Server 2008 R2. These license files are required for the KMS host service to recognize Office 2016 KMS host keys.

This download contains an executable file that will extract and install KMS host license files. Can anyone advise of a better route to get. I searched around and it doesnt seem like theres service packs anymore. Im installing O2016 on a vm image, however theres like hundreds of updates coming thru on WSUS that require endless reboots.

To set up Active Directory-Based activation, you must be running Windows Server 2012, Windows 8, or newer.Īll volume editions of Office 2016 client products are pre-installed with a Generic Volume License Key (GVLK) key, which supports automatic activation for both KMS and Active Directory-Based Activation, so you will not need to install a product key. Posted by nick8010 on Dec 18th, 2018 at 6:54 PM. When an Office 2016 volume edition client is installed, it will automatically attempt to activate via either Active Directory by using its existing domain pairing or a DNS-discoverable KMS host on your organization network. If you want to activate volume license editions of Office 2016, Visio 2016, or Project 2016 with a KMS host or Active Directory-Based activation, you need to first install Office 2016 Volume License Pack.
