Activating Office 2013 with KMS

If you have a Key Management Service (KMS) host computer configured to activate Windows, you can easily configure that same KMS host computer to activate Microsoft Office. This process involves several steps, including activating the KMS key over the internet or by telephone.

To enable your KMS host computer to activate Office 2013, you must first install the Office Volume License Pack and then enter your KMS key on the KMS host computer. If you're not familiar with the process of setting up a KMS host computer, don't worry - it's relatively straightforward.

You can configure a Windows Server computer to be a KMS host computer by installing the Volume Activation Services role and then running the Volume Activation Tools wizard. This will give your server the necessary tools to activate volume licensed versions of Office.

In particular, this process applies to volume licensed versions of Microsoft Office LTSC 2021, Office 2019, and Office 2016 (including Project and Visio). By following these steps, you'll be able to ensure that your organization's Office installations are properly activated and ready for use.
