Activating Office 2013 Professional Plus

Office 2013 Professional Plus can be activated in several ways. The most common methods are activation via the program interface, command line, or by phone. Below, you will find a complete step-by-step guide and methods to check if the package has been properly activated.

This guide assumes that the Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus package is already installed, and you have a valid product key.

Before You Begin

Before activation, prepare:

A 25-character product key for Office 2013 Professional Plus
An internet connection if you want to activate online
Administrator privileges in the Windows system if you choose the CMD method
The phone activation number: 00 800 121 1654

For proper functioning, close all Office applications before starting the activation in command line mode.

Method 1: Activation via the Program Interface

This is the simplest method, recommended for most users.

How to Activate Office 2013 in the Program Window

Launch any Office package program, such as Word or Excel.
If the activation wizard appears, select the product activation option.
Enter the 25-character product key.
Confirm the entered key.
Choose internet activation.
Wait for the process to complete.

If the activation window does not appear automatically:

Open Word or Excel.
Go to File → Account.
Find the product activation section.
Select the option to change the product key or activate.
Enter the key and confirm.

After the process is completed successfully, a message should appear informing you that the product has been activated.

Method 2: Activation via CMD using `ospp.vbs`

This method is useful when activation via the program does not work or you want to perform it manually.

Step 1: Open the Command Prompt as Administrator

Click the Start menu.
Type cmd.
Right-click Command Prompt.
Select Run as administrator.

Step 2: Go to the Office Directory

Depending on the system version, use one of the following commands:

cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office15"

or for 32-bit Office on 64-bit Windows:

cd /d "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office15"

Step 3: Enter the Product Key

Use the command:

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

Replace XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX with your product key.

Step 4: Run the Activation

After saving the key, execute:

cscript ospp.vbs /act

After a moment, a confirmation message of successful activation should appear.

Important Order

In Office 2013, you must first add the key using ospp.vbs /inpkey, and then run ospp.vbs /act.

Method 3: Telephone Activation

If online activation fails, you can use telephone activation.

Activation Number

Call the following number:

00 800 121 1654

How Telephone Activation Works

Run the Office 2013 program.
Open the product activation window.
Select the telephone activation option, if available.
Indicate your country or region.
The installation ID will appear on the screen.
Call the provided number and follow the automated system's instructions.
Enter the installation ID.
Receive the confirmation ID.
Enter the received code in the corresponding fields in the activation wizard.
Confirm the activation.

If the automated system does not accept the data, it may be possible to be redirected to a consultant.

How to Check if Office 2013 is Activated

Activation can be verified in two ways.

Verification in the Office Program

Open Word or Excel.
Go to File → Account.
Check the product status.

If everything went correctly, you will see a message stating that the product has been activated.

Verification via CMD

After navigating to the Office15 directory, enter:

cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus

The command will display license information, including the activation status. Look for messages indicating an active license.

Most Common Errors and Solutions

1. Incorrect Product Key

If a message about an incorrect key appears:

check if all characters were entered correctly
ensure that the key is for exactly Office 2013 Professional Plus
pay attention to similar characters, such as B and 8, G and 6, O and 0

2. Lack of Administrator Privileges

If the ospp.vbs commands do not work:

close the CMD window
run Command Prompt as an administrator
repeat the commands again

3. `ospp.vbs` File Not Found

If the system returns an error that it cannot find the file:

check if you are in the Office15 directory
ensure that you are using the correct path for the 32-bit or 64-bit version
enter the cd command again and try again

4. Online Activation Error

If online activation fails:

check your internet connection
temporarily disable the firewall or antivirus program if it is blocking the connection
try telephone activation

5. Product Still Shows No Activation

When, after performing activation, Office still reports a problem:

restart your computer
check the status with the cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus command
ensure that the correct edition of the package was activated

6. Entered Key Does Not Save Correctly

If, after using /inpkey, there is no confirmation:

check if the key was entered without additional spaces
run CMD as an administrator
try to paste or enter the key manually again

7. Telephone Activation Rejects Installation ID

In such a situation:

check if the correct country was selected
enter the installation ID very carefully
if necessary, connect with a consultant instead of using only the automated system

Summary

Office 2013 Professional Plus can be activated using three effective methods: through the program interface, via CMD using ospp.vbs, and by phone at 00 800 121 1654. The most important thing in command-line activation is to follow the correct order: first ospp.vbs /inpkey, and then ospp.vbs /act.

After completing the process, it's always a good idea to verify the activation status, ideally both in the Office program itself and with the cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus command. This ensures that the package is working correctly and is ready to use.
