  • other The program can convert Office documents (such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to other file formats using Office's COM capabilities, allows customization of the Office Tool Plus program's color theme, and supports command-line shortcuts for advanced users who require installation or activation scripts, etc.

ℹ️ Note: Office Tool Plus I did not provide a fake Office license. Even if you don't directly crack the program, you still need a legal license (such as a genuine Product Key or a valid Microsoft 365 subscription account) to activate Office. This tool is only for managing and configuring the installation/activation (e.g., it includes a KMS client key for use with your organization's KMS server, but the program itself doesn't come with the internal KMS server). Users should download Office Tool Plus from trusted official sources and use it only in accordance with Microsoft's license agreement.

Managing Office licenses with Office Tool Plus.

This topic relates to page usage. Activate Office Tool Plus includes the following important features: Licenses management And Key management As we have already discussed some of these aspects, the following is a summary of license management details:

  • View installed license information: On the Activate page, at the bottom, there will be a list. Office licenses list Displays all Office licenses installed on the computer, categorized by type. vNext licenses (such as Microsoft 365, Office 2019+ with an online account linked) and Office legacy licenses (For example, Office 2016/2019/2021 Volume or Retail licenses that are not linked to an account) You can see which licenses are included. Activated It shows whether the license is active (marked with a green checkmark) or has expired, as well as the username associated with the license (in the case of vNext).
  • Installing additional licenses: To add a new license (e.g., add Visio or convert to a Volume), go to the section... Licenses management > Install license A list of products/licenses will be available to choose from, such as Office, Visio, and Project, in both Retail and Volume versions. Select the desired license and click Install. Office Tool Plus will then add that license to your Office system. Without deleting the original license. This means you can have multiple Office licenses on a single machine (Office itself will choose the correct license based on which program is open; for example, when you open Word, it will check which Word license is active).
    • Example: Your computer has Office 365 installed, but you want to use KMS to activate it as well. You can. Install license This involves adding an Office LTSC 2021 Volume, then installing a KMS key and activating it (as described in the KMS section above). As a result, Office will have both the 365 and 2021 Volume licenses, and the Volume will show as active. (For security reasons, you may want to log out of your Microsoft 365 account first if you want the Office UI to display only the Volume license name.)
  • Install the product key: In this section Key management There is a field for entering the 25-digit key as mentioned earlier, and be careful if there is an error. 0xC004F069 This error message appears when entering the key, meaning you've entered a key that doesn't match the license already on your machine. For example, you might have entered a Volume key but haven't installed the Volume License yet. (You need to install the Volume License first before entering the new key.)
  • Revocation of keys and licenses: Besides the button. Uninstall all licenses There is also a button in the Key management section to delete license data (except the key). Uninstall all unactivated keys This is also for removing inactive keys, such as trial keys that have never been used or have failed to register. In the Office licenses list itself, if you select legacy licenses, there will be a button. Uninstall key To remove license keys one by one (for example, a MAK key was previously entered on the machine, but we want to remove it).
  • Changing the license holder name (for Office 365): There is an advanced function in the Toolbox called... Change Office product owner Keep it for changing. Account name This appears in Office (on the Account page, where it says "This product belongs to:..."). Generally, this isn't necessary, except in organizations that want to display a different name. Further documentation is available for instructions.

In summary, the Activation page of Office Tool Plus functions as... License Control Center This tool allows you to easily see and manage all Office licenses on your machine in one place. It's very useful when troubleshooting activation issues, such as if activation fails due to an incorrect key; you can install the correct license and enter a new key through this page. Or, if you want to switch to KMS, you can do so from here.

Advanced Configurations and Customization

Advanced Configurations and Customization

For advanced users or IT administrators, Office Tool Plus also has a section... Advanced settings On the Deploy page, you can adjust the details of your Office installation in more depth and configure various settings:

  • Advanced Deploy Settings: On the Deploy page, there will be tabs. Basic settings (Default) and can be switched to a tab. Advanced settings Yes (the toggle button is usually at the top or there may be a ⚙️ icon). When in Advanced mode, there will be additional options, such as:
    • Office version – Select the specific Office version number if you want to install an older version or a specific version (Office Tool Plus will display a list of older builds that Microsoft has made available on that channel). For example, if you want to install Office version 16.0.103xx instead of the latest, you can select it from the drop-down. (Requires online connection to retrieve build information)
    • Source path – The field allows you to specify a path directly to the Office installation files, but the developers state that… If the files already exist, it's better to use the "Select" button on the Installation files page rather than manually entering the path here. Because mistakes can happen.
    • Activation settings – Settings related to activation that will be embedded in the config (for administrators only; these should not be adjusted in general installations). For example, they might be used to configure Office to automatically run KMS scripts or enter the product key after installation. General users do not need to touch this part.
    • Application preferences – This section is very powerful because it allows you to set default settings for various Office applications, such as enabling/disabling macros, setting the default file saving location, and defining the default file format (e.g., making Word default to saving as .doc instead of .docx), etc. These settings will then be applied to all installed Office applications (and all users on the machine), as if a policy had been established.
    • Others: There are other options that can be explored further in the Microsoft Office Deployment Tool documentation, such as specifying what to do after deployment, like restarting the computer, or installing Slides (an add-on plugin), etc.
  • Creating an Office ISO file: In the side menu under the heading. Create Office ISO Office Tool Plus provides a function to help package Office installation and configuration files into a .ISO file. This is useful if you want to distribute the installation media to others or keep it for multiple installations. It supports both automatic unattended ISO creation with configuration and manual (user-required) ISO creation without configuration. You can find more instructions in the "Prepare / Use ISO command" document on the official website.
  • Using commands via the Command Line: For those who want to write scripts or work headless, Office Tool Plus has a system. Application commands And Deploy/Activation commands This allows you to call various functions via the command line, such as issuing commands like... deploy To install Office according to the specified parameters, the following command is issued: activate To activate KMS, etc., you can press... Ctrl + Shift + P In the program, open the command window and type the commands according to the provided command guide (or run it). OfficeToolPlus.Console.exe (Outside is also acceptable.)

⚠️ Warning: Advanced settings are complex and may lead to installation errors if not understood. Therefore... Do not modify values beyond what is necessary. Especially in the Activation settings section, or directly editing the XML configuration, if you are unsure, you should use the default settings or consult the manual first. (Office Tool Plus itself also has a warning that...) “Don't change any settings that you can't understand.” (Keep it in mind)

Troubleshooting common problems

Troubleshooting common problems

While Office Tool Plus simplifies the installation and management of Office, users may sometimes encounter problems or errors, either from the program itself or the Office installer. Here are some common problems and how to fix them:

  1. Office installation stalled or stopped midway:
    • If the installation progress bar stops at... 0-49% "Unusually long" usually means... The Office installer was unable to download the required files. The reason might be a problem with your internet connection: check the stability of your network or try switching to a different internet provider. Additionally, The "Download first, then deploy" option should be enabled.“ To reduce the chance of freezing due to internet disconnection (the program will download all files before installation, reducing the chance of freezing during installation), another option is to go to the section if you already have an offline installation file. Installation files and press Verify This allows Office Tool Plus to check the file's integrity, so that any corrupted files can be re-downloaded.
    • If the progress bar is stuck at... 50-100% (Installation in progress) means... An error occurred while running the Office installer. In this case, if the installer has a button... Ignore/Continue Click to skip that error (skipping may disable some features, such as VBA, but the overall Office installation will be complete). If there is no error or you are unsure, you should try... Close all other programs that are open. Because sometimes other software (such as antivirus, or programs that use Office components) may interfere with the Office installation, try running the installation again. Also, try using the feature... Remove Office To uninstall Office if it's frozen or incomplete, first remove it, then reinstall it using Office Tool Plus.
    • If you've tried everything and it still doesn't work (e.g., it freezes every time at 90-100%), it might be a problem with the Windows system itself. We recommend trying... Restart the device. Then reinstall it, or in the worst-case scenario, you might need to... Repair or reset Windows. (For example, resetting the PC) to clean the system before installing Office.
  2. Activation failed:
    • If you encounter an error when activating via KMS... 0x8007000D: The data is invalid Or 0x8007007B (Filename syntax invalid) – This problem is often related to the Windows License Service. Please check. Time and date of the machine Check if the information is correct (a large time discrepancy will prevent KMS activation) and verify that the device can connect to the network normally, including... The configured KMS server is actually online. (You could try pinging or using a function.) Test KMS host (In the Toolbox to test the connection) then try using the tool. Reset Software Protection service In the Toolbox, reset the Windows license service (this will delete the KMS host and renewal policy values, and if any suspicious DLLs are detected). SppExtComObjHook.dll This file will be deleted (it often comes with pirated KMS emulators). After reconfiguring, try activating again.
    • If an error occurs... 0x8007232B: DNS name does not exist - mean The KMS Host has not yet been configured. An incorrect KMS hostname or IP address on your machine may prevent Office from finding the server. To fix this, verify that you have entered the correct KMS name or IP address in Office Tool Plus (see the KMS section above). If a KMS host is not actually installed (none are available), you will need to provide a valid KMS server or switch to an alternative method. Additionally, you could try changing your machine's DNS server (e.g., using Google's 8.8.8.8) in case the KMS host is within a domain name that requires public DNS, and then try activating it again.
    • If going up 0xC004F074: No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. – This means the connection to the KMS server was unsuccessful. Please check your network first and make sure the KMS Host you are using is correct. Still working. (It may have expired or been disabled.) Then try resetting the Software Protection service using the same method as in the 0x8007000D case above, and try again.
    • If going up 0xC004F069: product SKU is not found – That means... There is no Office license that matches the key being installed. (SKU not found) Please go back. Install license Enter the matching key first (for example, if you're trying to enter a Volume key but haven't installed the Volume License yet), then entering the new key should work.
    • If going up 0xC004F015 / 0xC004F017: license is not installed – If your Office is already activated, you can... You can ignore this message. (Too many bugs reported) But if it's still not active, it means the activation process is incomplete. Check if you followed the correct steps (e.g., entered the key correctly). Otherwise, the key is invalid and you need to use a different key/purchase a valid license.
    • case I opened Office and saw a message prompting me to link my account or purchase a subscription. Even though we've activated it via KMS/MAK: The issue might be due to settings within Office itself. Try using the tool. Reset Office settings to defaults (Reset Office settings) In the Office Tool Plus Toolbox, this reset will clear the Office registry and configuration settings, restoring them to factory defaults. This helps resolve issues where the Office UI is confused by the old license (for example, a suitable situation is when you were already using Office 365 and you switch to a permanent license, but the program still asks for a 365 login).
  3. Problems using Office Tool Plus, the program itself:
    • If the program opens and the window is blank (no UI is displayed) or the program freezes: This problem has occurred on some machines because... Hardware acceleration .NET is experiencing issues with its graphics card drivers. The solution is to open Command Prompt and run the command... "" \Office Tool Plus.exe" /enablehwacc false To disable hardware acceleration in the UI, then try reopening the program. If the freezing is resolved, update your graphics card drivers to the latest version to prevent future issues.
    • If the program is opened and a message appears... “Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program” (Insufficient memory): The developer recommends trying this for this issue. Temporarily disconnect from the internet and then open Office Tool Plus. Wait until it boots up, then reconnect to the internet. (The problem might be due to the program trying to load something during startup and experiencing a bug.)
    • If you encounter an error message related to... .NET Framework such as ''wminet_utils.dll' does not have all required functions Please do the following: Update the .NET Framework on your machine via Windows Update. Please complete the process first, then run the program again. (Office Tool Plus requires .NET 4.8 or higher.)
    • If the program crashes (closes) after using a command or feature, whether during Office installation or when encountering a query error code, try the following: Reboot Windows. Try once and then try again, because sometimes Windows itself has internal problems that can be cleared by restarting.
  4. The "The path is null or empty" problem during Office installation/uninstallation: If Office Tool Plus displays this error, it means that some Windows system variables (such as...) %ProgramFiles% Or %CommonProgramFiles%) Is missing or incorrect, causing the Office installer to be unable to find the path. The solution is to go to the page... Toolbox > Windows tools Then click to use the tool. Reset system variables To restore system variables to their default settings, try installing/uninstalling Office again.
  5. The "Invalid Class" issue occurs when installing an Office license or running certain commands: This issue is caused by a problem with the Windows WMI system (a Software Licensing class is missing). The solution is to go to... Toolbox > Windows tools Then run it. Repair WMI components To allow the program to re-register all WMI components on the new machine, please try again.
  6. Other problems and approaches:
    • If you can't install Office and you have the program... WPS Office (Or alternative Office suites) already installed on your machine, it's recommended to temporarily uninstall them. Based on some user experiences, these programs can interfere with Microsoft Office installation (e.g., some versions of WPS reserve Office file extensions or cause Office registry issues).
    • Some software that is known to cause problems with Office installations include: Shadow Defender (Shadow Copy system), WinZiper/WinZip Versions that come with advertisements, etc., should be disabled or uninstalled first, then the computer should be rebooted, and only then should office be reinstalled.
    • If you encounter strange error codes with unknown causes, Office Tool Plus has a button. Query error code The toolbox that helps find descriptions of the code (which may open a details window or launch the Windows troubleshooter) may provide additional guidance on how to solve the problem.
    • Office Tool Plus has user communities such as the My Digital Life forum and GitHub. If you can't find a solution, you can ask your question through those channels, possibly attaching [the relevant documentation]. Installation log
