Office 2010 KMS Host License Pack Available for Download

Microsoft has made the Office 2010 KMS Host License Pack available for download. The Volume licensing editions of Microsoft Office 2010 suites and applications, Microsoft Project 2010 and Microsoft Visio 2010 require activation. Key Management Service (KMS) is a local volume activation method. To activate your Office 2010 client installations with KMS, you will need to set up a KMS host.

An Office 2010 KMS host is required if you want to use KMS activation for your volume license editions of Office 2010 suites or applications, Project 2010 or Visio 2010. When Office 2010 volume edition client products are installed, they will automatically search for a KMS host on your organization’s DNS server for activation. All volume editions of Office 2010 client products are pre-installed with a KMS client key, so you will not need to install a product key.

This download contains an executable file that will extract and install KMS host license files. Run this file on either 32-bit or 64-bit supported Windows operating systems. These license files are required for the KMS host service to recognize Office 2010 KMS host keys. It will also prompt you to enter your Office 2010 KMS host key and activate that key. After this is done, you may need to use the slmgr.vbs script to further configure your KMS host.

Note: This version enables online activation for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. Phone activation on these operating systems is not available at this time.
