For offline activation of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Office 2016, the following processes can be utilized:
Windows 10 and Windows 11 Activation
- Key Management Service (KMS): This is a client-server model where the client requests activation from a KMS host computer. The KMS host must be set up in your environment, and clients will need to connect to it to activate.
- Multiple Activation Key (MAK): This method involves entering a unique product key for each installation. MAK keys can be used for one-time activation of Windows or Office products.
- Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT): This tool can help automate the activation process for both Windows and Office products, allowing centralized management of activations.
Office 2016 Activation
- KMS Activation: Similar to Windows, Office 2016 can also be activated using KMS. The KMS host will handle activation requests from Office clients.
- Active Directory-based Activation: This allows activation of Office on computers that are joined to an Active Directory domain, using a Generic Volume License Key (GVLK).
- MAK Activation: As with Windows, you can use MAK for Office 2016, requiring a product key for each installation.
These methods ensure that you can activate your software even when the devices are not connected to the internet.
