I have had KMS setup and working for quite a while now, activating my office 2010 and 2013 pools (we have to keep 2010 on a certain pool for a particular app that works with it). I recently updated a couple of pools to office 2016 so i setup the KMS host to actovate 2016 also. All working well, or so i thought!
I now have discovered my 2010 pools are saying they are not activated and whatever i try i just can't get them to work with KMS. I can see on the KMS host that office 2010 is there:

But whenever i try and activate the count does not increase, it stays at 1 and on the client trying to activate it says the standard error about the count reorted by KMS is insufficient. However, when i run ospp.vbs /dstatusall i get an error saying the product key is not available. I have checked the registry and the keys are in place for the KMS server under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform.

So, i thought i'd quickly create a temp snapshot using a MAK key and recompose the pool, but users now get prompted to activate the key online and when they click to do so get told that this action requires admin privilieges.
Any ideas appreciated. KMS drives me to despair with office but i thought i had it all working. Are 2016 and 2010 not supported on the same KMS server? Do i need to reinstall the 2010 kms host.
Did you ever resolve this? I am having a similar issue. Thanks.
After installing Office on your Master Image, you should not start Office (word, ecxel ..).
Office may not get a License
If Office already started, you need to "ream" the License on our Master.
cscript ospp.vbs /rearm
I migrated the KMS server to a new Windows Server 2022 machine and installed the KMS host key (CSVLK) for Windows server 2022 datacenter. This key will also be used for activating my clients lower then the Server 2022 OS.
Besides this i installed the Office volume license packs for Office 2013/2016/2019/LTSC2021 and i tried doing the same for Office 2010.
Unfortunate the Volume License Pack for Office 2010 is only supported untill server 2012R2 and wont let it install on Server 2022, but it installed what i needed anyway.
After installing the Volume Licensepack Office LTSC 2021 i did not close the wizard but i clicked next to add another product. I added the Office 2010 CSVLK KMS key and activated the server.
Hope this helps 🙂
Cheers
