Office Activation Code 0xc004f074 Error

If the Office KMS count value is less than 5, Office clients will not activate. When the Office KMS pool contains five or more client computers, try to activate Office by using the Office activation wizard, OSPP.vbs, or VAMT.

  1. Hi SuccesFullGamer It is likely that the Windows 10 licence you are running is a volume licence version and is meant to run in a Company or organisation where the activation is re-armed on a regular basis or it is a cracked version of Windows.
  2. A friend's Microsoft Office Professional 2010 install just started throwing this error: microsoft office activation failed 0xc004f074 Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? Google shows Microsoft Office 2010 activation failed 0xc004f074 Solved - Windows 7 Help Forums.

So we're running a Windows 2008R2 server as our KMS server.

I've installed the Microsoft Office 2016 Volume License Pack from here

I've inputted my kms key , that for some reason I had to call MS to get?

Now on my workstation I initially upgraded my Office 2013 to 2016, since then i've also uninstalled everything and reinstalled and it will not automatically activate?

So on my machine I run cscript ospp.vbs /act and receive the following error

I've even tried forcing activation through VAMT and receive a error:

The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information

and when i look in event viewer i see:

Error operating on product: Application Name: Office . Exception System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xC004F074) at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo) at System.Management.ManagementObject.InvokeMethod(String methodName, ManagementBaseObject inParameters, InvokeMethodOptions options) at Microsoft.Licensing.VolumeActivation.WmiConnection.ExecuteMethod(String queryString, String actionValue, Dictionary`2 wmiParameter) at Microsoft.Licensing.VolumeActivation.SoftwareLicensingProvider.ActivateProduct(Product product) at Microsoft.Licensing.VolumeActivation.SoftwareLicensingProvider.VolumeActivate(Product product) at Microsoft.Licensing.VolumeActivation.VolumeActivationWorker.OnDoWork(Product product) at Microsoft.Licensing.VolumeActivation.WmiProviderWorker.Work()
