Office supports KMS host computers running on the following operating systems, depending on which version of Office is being activated by KMS: You'll also need to install the Office Volume License Pack for each version of Office on the KMS host computer and activate a KMS host key for each version of Office. In these cases, the KMS host computer must be running an operating system that supports KMS for each of the versions of Office that you want to activate. You can also configure a KMS host computer to activate multiple versions of Office, such as Office LTSC 2021, Office 2019, and Office 2016. If you have a KMS host computer configured to activate Windows, you can configure that same KMS host computer to activate Office. Then, you need to activate the KMS key over the internet or by telephone. To enable the KMS host computer to activate Office, you must install the Office Volume License Pack and enter your KMS key on the KMS host computer. You can configure a Windows Server computer to be a KMS host computer by installing the Volume Activation Services role and then running the Volume Activation Tools wizard.

To activate volume licensed versions of Office, including Project and Visio, you must have a Key Management Service (KMS) host computer. This doesn’t affect many apps, but when the sole purpose of the app is to minimise windows, not being able to minimise some windows is a noticeable flaw.Applies to: Volume licensed versions of Office LTSC 2021, Office 2019, and Office 2016 (including Project and Visio) One thing to note about the app is that it can’t always close windows that don’t have a title, such as certain media player windows and apps with custom interface designs. You can also set up a macro to launch the app, making it able to be launched at the press of a key. That being said, the app does not consume memory and takes up next to no space on your computer’s storage.

Not a necessary application but can be usefulįew would call Activator a must-have app, since you would need to regularly have a lot of windows open to make it feel necessary.

Unless you have dozens and dozens of windows open and searching for the app would still be quicker than minimising the windows manually. This does mean that you will have to have a shortcut to the app to hand to make it useful, since having to go looking for Activator when you want to clean up the desktop will defy the point of the app.
