Office 2019 activation

[itgeek]

H,

 

We use office 2019 and it is recently telling us office has been activated too many times. I have a new MAK office 2019 key but how do I change this remotely on the teachers desktop using a script and activate office again?

 

Thanks in advance

You will need to run the following as part of a script:-

cscript "C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs" /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

cscript "C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs" /ato

Hi,

 

Can you confirm this works for office 2019? I have just ran the script on office 2019 machine and it didn't work? I have asked MS to increase my office 2019 activations but it could takes days to do this.

 

 

Thanks

Yep, this definitely works for 2019. We have used this since we ditched KMS back when we upgraded all our machines to 2019. (Also works for 2021 LTSC since thats what we use now)
