Symptoms

You try to activate Microsoft Office 2013 or Office 2016 through the Key Management Service (KMS) host by using any of the following methods:

Microsoft Office 2010 Activation Error 0xc004f074

  • Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT)
  • Office activation wizard from a client computer
  • OSPP.vbs /act script

However, you receive the following error message:

Cause

This issue occurs because the Office KMS pool contains fewer than five unique client computers.

Resolution

To resolve this problem, increase the number of client computers in the Office KMS pool to five or more.

Note

To determine how many client computers are currently in the Office KMS pool on the KMS host, run the following command in an elevated Command Prompt window from c:windowssystem32, and then press Enter:

Cscript slmgr.vbs -dlv all >c:tempKMSInfo.txt

Go to c:temp (or any custom location where you put the output), and then open KMSInfo.txt. Search for Office to find your Office KMS host installation details. Check the Current Count value. 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.

If you use System Preparation (Sysprep) in your environment, it is possible that Office was not rearmed before the image creation. Therefore, computers may have the same client computer ID (CMID) for Office.

If you have more than five computers that are trying to activate, and you still see this error message, check the KMS host log on Event Viewer on the KMS server. For example, you see entries that resembles the following:

Kms Error 0xc004f074

  • 0x0,5,Ignite1.ignite.local,930bd202-a335-4c7e-bd9d-7305361f0d37,Date/Time,0,5,0,6f327760-8c5c-417c-9b61-836a98287e0c
  • 0x0,5,Ignite2.ignite.local,2f362dd3-fb39-4d18-94e6-de1d30dd27d5,Date/Time,0,5,0,6f327760-8c5c-417c-9b61-836a98287e0c
  • 0x0,5,Ignite5.ignite.local,930bd202-a335-4c7e-bd9d-7305361f0d37,Date/Time,0,5,0,6f327760-8c5c-417c-9b61-836a98287e0c

In this example, notice that Ignite5 and ignite1 have the same CMID (930bd202-a335-4c7e-bd9d-7305361f0d37). This indicates that the Office rearm was skipped even though the base operating system image may have been generated.

Note

Before Sysprep prepares the image, make sure that you run one of the following commands, based on your Office bit version, to guarantee a unique Office CMID.

32-bit Office:
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice16ospprearm.exe

64-bit Office:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice16ospprearm.exe

Office 2010 Activation 0xc004f074

For detailed information about how to rearm the Office installation, see the following articles:

You can run the following startup script on these computers to rearm Office and generate new, unique Office IDs. In this script, replace XX with the appropriate value, based on your Office version:

XX = 15 for Office 2013

XX = 16 for Office 2016
