Cara menghilangkan product activation failed pada microsoft office 2016 dengan mudah tanpa crack / aplikasi. Berbagi itu indah, semoga bermanfaat saudara/ri Terimakasih yang sudah melihat video.

On a new Surface tablet, I removed the retail products and installed ProPlus from Volume Licensing. However, each Office application prompted for activation. When a product key was entered, the Office application would still report it was not activated.

The step-by-step explains how to use OSPP.VBS to resolve this issue.

8 Steps total

Step 1: Quit all open Office applications.

Step 2: Open an elevated command prompt.

Step 3: Navigate to your installed Office subdirectory

In my Office 2016 case, that path was:

C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice16

Step 4: At the prompt, enter: cscript.exe ospp.vbs /dstatus

Example output:

In my case, I needed to remove the Office 16, Office16O365HomePremR_Grace edition item.

Step 5: Note the last five characters of the product key you want to remove.

In my case, the Office 16, Office16O365HomePremR_Grace edition characters were:

Last 5 characters of installed product key: KHGM9

Step 6: Enter: cscript.exe ospp.vbs /unpkey:[LASTFIVECHARACTERSOFKEYTOREMOVE]

In my case:

cscript.exe ospp.vbs /unpkey:KHGM9

Microsoft project product activation failed

Microsoft Project Product Activation Failed

Output is as follows:

---Processing--------------------------
---------------------------------------
Uninstalling product key for: Office 16, Office16O365HomePremR_Grace edition

---------------------------------------
---Exiting-----------------------------

Step 7: Rerun cscript.exe ospp.vbs /dstatus

This is to confirm that the product key is removed. My output:

This flummoxed me for two days. However, calling the Volume Licence Support line led to this quick fix.

    It's a known bug relating to the Microsoft Office Desktop Applications. Uninstall those and then go delete these two keys in the registry:

    HKLMSOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftOffice16.0CommonOEM
    HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice16.0CommonOEM

    Close all MS-Office applications and restart them. You don't need to reboot the PC.

    Thanks a bunch, @Mike400. I appreciate your help. I'm going to try that now on yet another computer with an Office problem.

    Hi mwhalenhtc, i worked on this problem over two weeks. I already removed the two OEM registry keys but still getting the activation popup.

    The ospp.vbs works, Thanks :)
