Like the previous version Office 2021, Office LTSC will include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Access (Windows only) and Publisher (Windows only).

A 1 PC license allows the use of the software on a single computer, while a 2 PC license allows usage on two devices. The main difference lies in the number of computers where the software can be installed and activated.

1 PC = 1 operating system/device

2 PC = 2 operating systems/devices

For installation, activation, and downloading updates for Office 2021, internet access is required. Once installed and activated, core applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint can be used offline. However, some specific features and services, such as Office updates and cloud services (e.g., OneDrive), still require an internet connection.

Activation confirms the authenticity of your software copy and ensures it is used according to the license terms. It is usually done by entering a product or license key, granting full access to all features and updates of the software.

If online activation fails, try the following:

1. Check internet connection.
2. Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus.
3. Run as administrator.
4. Set the system time correctly.
5. Use Microsoft’s support and recovery assistant.
6. Try phone activation.
7. Contact Microsoft support.

Yes, Microsoft Visio and Project are compatible with Office suites but are not included and must be purchased separately. They complement Office applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint and can be installed on the same computer alongside these. Pay attention to compatibility regarding version (year) and 32-bit or 64-bit.

Example 1: Visio 2013 Prof Plus with Office 2016 Prof Plus -> not compatible, so both programs cannot be used simultaneously on one system.

Example 2: Visio 2013 Prof Plus with Office 2013 Prof Plus -> compatible, both programs can be installed and used on one system without any problems.

No other or older Office applications should be installed on your system. If you have issues installing Office, try the following:

1. Run as administrator: Right-click on the installation file > “Run as administrator.”
2. Disable antivirus: Temporarily disable your antivirus program and try installing again.
3. Check your internet connection: A stable connection is important.
4. Uninstall and reinstall Office: Remove existing Office installations and reinstall the package.
5. Update system: Update your operating system.
6. Check storage space: Ensure sufficient storage space for installation.
7. Look for error messages: For specific errors, consult the Office support page or contact Microsoft support.

First, try an alternative browser. If that doesn’t help, please temporarily disable your antivirus or firewall during the download. All installers/images come directly from Microsoft and do not contain any viruses, malware, etc. – we guarantee it!

Before upgrading to Windows 11, consider the following steps:

1. Check compatibility: Use Microsoft’s “PC Health Check” tool to ensure your PC meets the system requirements.
2. Back up data: Secure important files on an external drive or in the cloud.
3. Install updates: Update your current operating system and all drivers to the latest version.
4. Check software compatibility: Ensure your applications are compatible with Windows 11.
5. Free up space: Make sure there’s enough storage space for the upgrade.
6. Create a system restore point: Set a restore point in case issues arise.

These steps help facilitate a smooth upgrade.

CAL stands for “Client Access License.” It is a license that grants users or devices the right to access the services or features of a server. CALs are particularly relevant in the context of Microsoft server products such as Windows Server, SQL Server, Exchange Server, and many others.

There are two main types of CALs:

1. User CALs: This type of license grants a specific user the right to access the server from any device (such as a workstation, home PC, smartphone, etc.).
2. Device CALs: This type of license grants a specific device the right to be used by any user to access the server. This option can be more cost-effective when multiple users use the same workstation or device to access the server.

The choice between User CALs and Device CALs depends on the specific usage scenario in a company or organization. Microsoft offers these flexible licensing options to accommodate different business models and work practices.

CALs are necessary because Microsoft’s server operating systems and some other server products are licensed based on the principle of access licenses. This means that, in addition to the license for the server itself, additional licenses are required to legalize access to that server.

If you encounter the issue where the activation window appears every time you start Microsoft Office, you should try the following troubleshooting steps to change, remove, or activate a potentially blocked or invalid product key.

If Microsoft Office activation no longer works through the normal activation mask, you should test if a second key is already entered in the background.

Step 1: Launch Console (CMD) as Administrator

To do this, open CMD as an administrator. Click on the Windows Start menu button; for older Windows versions, it is labeled “Start.” Type CMD, and with the right mouse button, select “Run as administrator.”

Step 2: Navigate to the Program Directory

cd “C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice16”

Note: The folder name “Office16” may vary depending on the program version. If you have Office installed in the 32-bit version, use the following path:

cd “C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice16”

Note: If you cannot find cscript.exe in either the “Program Files” or “Program Files (x86)” folder, try opening it from “C:Windowssystem32”. However, the path of OSPP.VBS must be adjusted.

Example:

cscript C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice16OSPP.VBS /dstatus

Step 3: Display Installed Keys

With the following command, you can display the current status of installed keys:

cscript OSPP.VBS /dstatus

The output of the command provides information such as:

– How many keys are installed

– For which version of Office the key is intended

– License status

– Last 5 characters of the installed key (used for selection)

If you find two active keys in this window, you should remove the inactive key.

Step 4: Remove Keys

To remove an inactive key, use the following command:

Replace “XXXXX” with the last 5 characters of the key to be used (output in the “dstatus” command under “Last 5 characters of installed product key”).

cscript OSPP.VBS /unpkey:XXXXX

Step 5: Enter a New Key

To enter a new key, use the following command:

Replace “XXX…” with the new key.

cscript OSPP.VBS /inpkey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Step 6: Activate the New Product Key

To perform activation, use the following command:

cscript OSPP.VBS /act

This procedure works for all current Office versions up to version 2021 (Office 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021).

Please install the correct Office version. You can find the right software for your purchased product code on our download page. Note that older or newer versions must be removed before installation to avoid activation errors.
