Hello,

I am having a bit of an issue on understanding how to activate office pro plus 2013. 

I have installed office pro plus on the windows 7 client machines with the in built KMS key, I have also installed the Office 2013 volume licensting Pack onto one of our servers (i had to use the phone method). But i am just looking for advice on what i need to do to get the products activated now?

Thanks.

Sean

Hi,

What's the version of your server?

The KMS and MAK activation processes for Office 2013 are basically the same as they were for Office 2010, except that the Office 2013 KMS host is not supported on Windows Server 2003. The Office 2013 KMS host is supported on Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 VL edition, Windows 8 VL edition, and Windows Server 2012.

"i had to use the phone method"

What was the result?

Three volume activation methods are available for Office 2013:

Key management Service;

Multiple Activation kry;

Active Directiory-based activation.

Note: KMS and MAK are supported on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Active Directory-Based activation is supported only on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.

For more information, please refer to following article
