KMS authentication method

Updated 2021/01/13

 

KMS Authentication is a method of installing a host that centrally manages license keys for volume licenses and allowing clients to activate the KMS host in order to prevent violations of Microsoft software licenses.

 

Cautions
  • License immediately after installation.
  • Limited functionality if not licensed within 30 days of installation.
  • Licenses must be renewed every six months, and a second license must be obtained six months after installation.
When not authenticated

Please check the following two points and try again.

  • Is the computer time correct? --- (If the time settings are very different, an error may occur.)
  • Is the command prompt "Run as Administrator"?

 

1.Connect to the campus network.

Connect to the campus network. To connect to the SRAS service, refer to this page to connect to the campus network.

 

2.Find "command prompt" under "Search" next to the "Start" menu, right-click and select "Run as Administrator".

 

3 .Type the following command at a command prompt and run (Press the Enter key).

When installing under "Program Files" on C:drive (when the installation folder has not been changed)

cd C:\"Program Files"\"Microsoft Office"\Office**

When installing 32bit version under "Program Files" in the 64bit version OS environment.

cd C:\"Program Files (x86)"\"Microsoft Office"\Office**

   ※** is changed by the Office version.

   ex) In the case of office2013  cd C:\"Program Files"\"Microsoft Office"\Office15
         In the case of office2016  cd C:\"Program Files"\"Microsoft Office"\Office16

 

4 .Set the Activation sevrname. Enter the following command in the command prompt and run (press the Enter key).

cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:kms.sic.shibaura-it.ac.jp

※ If it isn't started the command prompt by "Run as Administrator", error(0x80070005) is happened.

 

5 .After it is displayed "Successfully applied setting." and check the correct setting, enter the following command in the command prompt and run (press the Enter key).

cscript ospp.vbs /act

※ If the time setting is not correct, error(0xC004F074) is happened.

 

6.If the activation is correct, it is displayed "<Product activation successful>".

This completes the licensing process.

 ※ License needs to update once every 6 months. If you want to use it in an environment that is not always connected to the campus network (your home use,etc), please obtain a license in the same way.
