Hello everybody,

for those who are working with MS Office for example in a company that provides
a volume licence should have noticed that it is not possible to activate the
product with the "cscript <whatever>" solution. 

I analysed this visual basic script and found a workaround for this issue:

There are three different registry entries that have to be added:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform]

Insert: 

"KeyManagementServiceName REG_SZ <Licence server>"
"KeyManagementServicePort REG_SZ <Port of licence server>"

Start MS Office (i.e. Word). Then an additional entry will be automatically
created:

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform]

Insert:
"VLRenewalSchedule REG_BINARY <any value>"

Alternatively it might be possible to copy the value of "VLRenewalSchedule"
from
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-0-0-0-1000\Software\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform]


It is possible that you have to start MS Office, close it completely and
restart it.

In the menu of Word go to "File - Help". You should now see that MS Office was
successfully activated.

Greetings,

Robert.
