# Office Click-to-Run Retail-to-Volume AIO

- A standalone fork of C2R-R2V,
where cleanospp.exe is embedded in the script and get extracted upon execution using powershell,
which makes it easier to move and distribute the script alone

- Convert already-installed Office ClickToRun licensing from Retail to Volume

- This is not an activator, just a licensing converter

- Supports: Office 365, Office 2021, Office 2019, Office 2016, Office 2013

- Activated Retail products will be skipped from conversion
this include valid Office 365 subscriptions, or perpetual Office (MAK, OEM, MSDN, Retail..)

- Current Office licenses will be cleaned up (unless retail-activated Office detected)
then, proper Volume licenses will be installed based on the detected Product IDs

- Office Mondo suite cover all products, if detected, only its licenses will be installed

- Microsoft Office 365 products will be converted with Mondo licenses by default
also, corresponding Office 365 Retail Grace Key will be installed

- Windows 10/11: Office 2016 products will be converted with corresponding Office 2019 licenses (if RTM detected)

- Windows 8.1: Office 2016/2019 products will be converted with corresponding Office 2021 licenses (if RTM detected)

- Office Professional suite will be converted with Office Professional Plus licenses

- Office HomeBusiness/HomeStudent suites will be converted with Office Standard licenses

- Office 2013 products follow the same logic, but handled separately

- If main products Suites are detected, single apps licenses will not be installed to avoid duplication

- Suites:
O365ProPlus, O365Business, O365SmallBusPrem, O365HomePrem, O365EduCloud
ProPlus, Professional, Standard, HomeBusiness, HomeStudent, Visio, Project

- Apps:
Access, Excel, InfoPath, Onenote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, SkypeForBusiness, Word, Groove (OneDrive for Business)

- Suites <> Apps relation:
O365ProPlus, O365Business, O365SmallBusPrem, ProPlus: all apps
O365HomePrem, Professional: all apps except SkypeForBusiness
Standard: all apps except Access, SkypeForBusiness
HomeBusiness: Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook
HomeStudent: Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, Word

## Remarks

- wmic.exe tool is removed from Windows 11 build 22483 and later

In order to overcome this, the converter incorporate simple VBScripts to query and execute WMI functions

This require Windows Script Host to be working and not disabled

- On Windows 7, Office C2R 16.0 licensing service require Universal C Runtime to work correctly

- UCRT is available in the latest Monthly Rollup, or the separate update KB3118401

- Additionally, Office programs themselves require recent Windows 7 updates to start properly

- While Office 2021 can be installed on Windows 7, it will not function or work properly

## Office 2019/2021

- Office 2019/2021 products are officially blocked on Windows 7 and 8.1
to workaround that, use the following steps

- If you want Office Professional Plus:
1) install Office 2016 SKU ProPlusRetail
2) run C2R-R2V.cmd

- Additionally, if you want Project and/or Visio:
1) install desired Office 2016 SKU: ProjectProRetail, ProjectStdRetail, VisioProRetail, VisioStdRetail
2) run C2R-R2V.cmd

## Manual advanced options:

- To run the process in debug mode "with" conversion
edit C2R-R2V.cmd and set _Debug=1

- To run the process in debug mode "without" conversion
edit C2R-R2V.cmd and set _Cnvrt=0
