Windows/Office activation troubleshooting guide
Update 2-Oct-2015 :-
-
Update the server name to vaserver2 to accommodate the Windows 10/ Office 2016 activation.
Please note below on the troubleshooting process for Windows/Office. It has been proven works with RMA Standard Operating Systems
- Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 Enterprise edition
- Office 2010, 2013, 2016 Standard edition
Steps :-
- To activate Windows
- Open elevated command prompt (run as local administrator) and execute command cscript slmgr.vbs /dli to determine the current activation status.
- Check the result
- Description should say "VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel". If not, then execute command cscript slmgr.vbs /ipk <KMS-Client-Key>. You can find the KMS Client Key at http://go.rmagroup.net/it2b1 (it has to match your Operating System version/ edition).
- License Status should NOT say "Licensed". If it is so, then you do not need to continue the troubleshooting steps as it has already been activated.
- KMS machine name from DNS and KMS machine IP address should say "vaserver2.hq.rmasia.net:1688" and "10.66.2.63" respectively. If it shows only IP address means you are having a DNS problem. If both shows nothing, then you need to manually point the KMS server by executing command cscript slmgr.vbs /skms vaserver2.hq.rmasia.net or cscript slmgr.vbs /skms 10.66.2.63 (make sure you can ping the KMS server).
- After that, execute the command cscript slmgr.vbs /ato to activate Windows. If nothing goes wrong, it should return
- To activate Office
- Open elevated command prompt (run as local administrator), find ospp.vbs and navigate to that directory.
- Execute command cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus to determine the current activation status.
- Check the result
- License Description should say "VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel". If not, then execute command cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:<KMS-Client-Key>. You can find the KMS Client Key at http://go.rmagroup.net/v7vdv (Office 2010) and http://go.rmagroup.net/18wez (Office 2013) (it has to match your Operating System version/ edition).
- License Status should NOT say "---Licensed---". If it is so, then you do not need to continue the troubleshooting steps as it has already been activated.
- DNS auto-discovery should say "vaserver2.hq.rmasia.net:1688" but not always (it may work without). You can manually point the KMS server by executing command cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:vaserver2.hq.rmasia.net or cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:10.66.2.63 (make sure you can ping the KMS server).
- After that, execute the command cscript ospp.vbs /act to activate Office. If nothing goes wrong, it should return
