I started looking for other questions about that subject, but didn't find anything I could use.įrom my point of view, the upgrade may let Office/Microsoft think it's a new install on a new system. I don't have any option to manually activate, and even if there was one, i'd really like to automate it, seeing that i have hundreds of computers that are gonna need it (so that it activates automatically, or even better, stays activated after the upgrade process). Of course I tried it on various computers, I checked to see the activation status before upgrading and they were all good, but still asked for activation after. Then I can launch any Office 2016 application and it will work great, except that when I open the 'account' tab, it shows that Office needs to be activated. I'm using SCCM 2012R2 with latest hotfixes and ADK, Windows 10 Enterprise 1809, Office Pro Plus 2016 with MAK licenses and windows 7 computers are up to date.Īfter tuning it, I tested it, and (almost) everything works fine.ĭata and softwares are still there, except when I first launch an Office 2016 application, the setup pops up (I guess for an auto-repair or something).

I'm supposed to prepare a SCCM upgrade task sequence to get all our computers upgraded to windows 10 (from windows 7).
