Issue Adding office365 2024 KMS /MAK Licenses to VAMT

Question

I have a stand alone VAMT installation on a Server 2019 machine that I use for testing Windows/Office deployments and use MAK keys exclusively (via my Visual Studio Enterprise Subscription) to VMs and networked devices. This is NOT a KMS server.

My VAMT 3.1 instance hosts license keys for Windows 10, 11, and Server + LTSB2015, LTSB2016 and LTSC 2019 just fine. However - this morning I attempted to add two new key for office 365 key - VAMT gives me the standard error that this license key is either invalid or not supported by this version of VAMT 3.1.

VAMT is fully to date (as part of Windows ADK (Version: 10.1.26100.0) and the keys should be valid.

Is there a newer version of VAMT that I am unaware of?

Thanks!

Answer 1

It seems that you are encountering issues adding Office 365 licenses to your VAMT 3.1 installation. The error message indicating that the license key is either invalid or not supported may be due to the fact that VAMT 3.1 does not support the specific keys for Office 365.

As of the information available, Office LTSC 2024, Office LTSC 2021, and Office 2019 require at least VAMT 3.1 to manage volume activation. However, if you are trying to add keys for Office 365, it is possible that these keys are not compatible with VAMT 3.1.

Currently, there is no mention of a newer version of VAMT specifically for Office 365 in the provided context. It may be beneficial to check for updates or additional documentation from Microsoft regarding support for Office 365 licenses in VAMT.
