Activating Office 2024 Professional Plus + Project 2024 Professional

Purchasing the Office 2024 Professional Plus + Project 2024 Professional bundle means you receive two separate products and two separate activation keys. This is very important, as each component of the package is activated independently. This also means that for each product, you need to perform a separate activation procedure using the ospp.vbs tool.

In this guide, we show you how to step by step activate:

• Office 2024 Professional Plus
• Project 2024 Professional

The instructions have been prepared for users of the pomoc.kluczesoft.pl service and describe the entire process in as simple and clear a way as possible. If you encounter any difficulties during activation, you can contact us at: [email protected].

Important information before starting

The bundle contains separate keys for each product, so:

• the key for Office 2024 Professional Plus activates only the Office package,
• the key for Project 2024 Professional activates only Project,
• you perform the activation separately for each component.

Do not enter the Project key into Office or vice versa. Even if both products are installed on the same computer, each requires its own activation.

Before you start the activation

Before performing the procedure, make sure that:

• Office 2024 Professional Plus is installed correctly,
• Project 2024 Professional is installed correctly,
• you have both product keys,
• you have a Windows system running with administrator privileges,
• your computer has an internet connection, if activation requires it.

It's also a good idea to close all Office and Project applications before starting, to avoid conflicts when executing commands.

What is ospp.vbs

ospp.vbs is a built-in Microsoft script for managing the license of Office products installed locally on a computer. With its help, you can:

• check the activation status,
• remove the current key or its fragment,
• install a new product key,
• initiate activation.

The script is run from the Command Prompt level, run as an administrator.

How to run the Command Prompt as an administrator

1. Click the Start button.
2. Type cmd.
3. Right-click on Command Prompt.
4. Select Run as administrator.

After opening the window, you can proceed to activate the first product.

Activating Office 2024 Professional Plus Step by Step

Below, we describe a separate procedure for the Office 2024 Professional Plus package.

Step 1. Go to the folder with the ospp.vbs file

The file is usually located in one of the following locations:

For a 64-bit system and 64-bit Office package:

cd /d "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16"

For a 64-bit system and 32-bit Office package:

cd /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16"

If you are unsure which path is correct, try the first one. If the system reports an error, use the second one.

Step 2. Check the current Office license status

Enter the command:

cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus

After a moment, you will see information about the current license status. If there is already another key or remnants of a previous activation in the system, it's a good idea to remove them first.

Step 3. Add the key to Office 2024 Professional Plus

Enter the command:

cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Instead of the string XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX, enter the key intended exclusively for Office 2024 Professional Plus.

After correctly adding the key, the system should display a message confirming the installation of the product key.

Step 4. Run Office activation

Enter:

cscript ospp.vbs /act

The script will attempt to activate the product. If everything goes correctly, a message confirming the successful completion of the operation will appear.

Step 5. Verify Office activation

To be sure, check the status again:

cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus

The license information should display a status indicating that the product has been activated. This means that Office 2024 Professional Plus is now ready to work.

Activating Project 2024 Professional Step by Step

Project 2024 Professional is activated separately, even if it was installed together with Office. In practice, you also use ospp.vbs, but you perform the procedure using the second key, assigned only to Project.

Step 1. Open the Command Prompt as Administrator

If the previous window was closed, run the Command Prompt as Administrator again.

Step 2. Go to the Folder with the ospp.vbs File

Most often, it will be the same folder as before:

For 64-bit versions:

cd /d "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16"

For 32-bit versions:

cd /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16"

Step 3. Check the License Status of Project

Enter:

cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus

The result may show information about several products at the same time. This is normal. The most important thing is that Project has its own license entry or that a new key can be assigned to it.

Step 4. Add the Key to Project 2024 Professional

Enter the command:

cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

This time, enter the key intended exclusively for Project 2024 Professional.

This is very important because the Office key does not activate the Project program. Each component of the suite has a separate license.

Step 5. Run the Activation of Project

Enter the command:

cscript ospp.vbs /act

After a while, you should see a message informing you that the activation has been completed.

Step 6. Check if Project has been Activated

To confirm, enter again:

cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus

If the license status indicates activation, it means that Project 2024 Professional has been successfully activated and is ready to use.

Most Common Problems During Activation

During activation, situations may arise that make it difficult to complete the process. Below are the most common cases.

Incorrect Product Key

If the system reports that the key is invalid:

• check if there is a typo,
• make sure you are using the correct key for the correct product,
• verify that the key is intended exactly for this version of the program.

Incorrect Path to ospp.vbs

If, after entering the command cd /d ..., the system does not find the folder:

• check if Office was installed correctly,
• try the second path,
• make sure the installation is in the standard location.

Lack of Administrator Privileges

If the commands do not execute correctly, the reason may be the lack of administrator privileges. In this case, close the window and run the Command Prompt as Administrator again.

Remnants of a Previous License

If a different version of Office or Project was previously installed on the computer, old license entries may remain. In such a situation, it is sometimes necessary to remove them before adding a new key.

Additional Tips

It is safest to activate products in this order:

1. First, Office 2024 Professional Plus
2. Then Project 2024 Professional

This order usually allows you to avoid ambiguities when working with licenses and makes it easier to control the entire process. After completing the activation, it's a good idea to run both programs and check if they work correctly without messages about the need for activation.

Summary

Activating the Office 2024 Professional Plus + Project 2024 Professional bundle requires performing two separate procedures, as each product has its own licence key. In both cases, you use the ospp.vbs script, but the key for Office and the key for Project must be entered separately.

The most important rules are simple:

• You activate Office separately,
• You activate Project separately,
• You use the correct key for each product,
• After activation, it's a good idea to check the status with the command cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus.
