If you want to deploy a volume licensed version of Office, Project, or Visio, as part of an operating system image, you must rearm your Office installation before you capture the image. If you do not rearm, users might see notification dialog boxes at the time that the image is deployed, instead of 25 days after deployment.
How To Rearm Office 2019
Rearming is also recommended if you're activating a volume licensed version of Office, including Project and Visio, by using Multiple Activation Key (MAK). If you're activating by using MAK and you don't remotely activate for end-users by using the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) or ospp.vbs, users see an activation dialog box the first time that an Office application starts. The activation dialog box is slightly different 25 days after installation. Also, users might immediately see a red title bar warning them of activation issues if Office wasn't rearmed before the image was captured.
When installing Office 2022/2019/2016 or Office 365, a user is offered to try the product for free for 30 days. After 30 days, your trial version of Office will expire and Office functionality will be partially blocked. The user will be prompted to purchase a license and activate the product (using a retail/MAK key or via Office KMS activation), or to uninstall Office completely. However, there is a little trick that allows you to extend your Microsoft Office free trial period up to 120 days. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle []).push();
The MS Office package (both the classic MSI package of Office 2016/2013/2010 and the Click2Run distribution of Office 2021/2019/Office 365) includes a special ospprearm.exe tool, which is located in the directory:
In any case, you can try to find the location of the ospprearm.exe file manually. var quads_screen_width = document.body.clientWidth;if ( quads_screen_width >= 1140 ) /* desktop monitors */document.write('');(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle if ( quads_screen_width >= 1024 && quads_screen_width = 768 && quads_screen_width
Thus, you rearm your Office copy and extend the free trial to 30 days. You can run this command up to three (3) times before the trial expires. Thus, you can extend the total time of using the Office 2019/2016/365 trial version up to 120 days (4 * 30 days). You can check the current Office activation status and the number of days remaining until the end of the grace period as follows.
In this example, the retail trial edition of Office is installed on the computer (Description: Office 19, RETAIL Grace channel). You can extend the trial period only 1 time (Remaining App rearm count: 1). The remaining period of use is 5 days.
If a corporate edition of Office 2019 is installed on the computer, for example, Office 19, Office19ProjectPro2019VL_KMS_Client_AE editionthen its description should look like Office 19, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel or Office 19, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel. The remaining trial period is 30 days, you can renew the license up to 3 times (Remaining App rearm count: 3).
Each time the license is extended via ospprearm.exe, the counter is decremented by 1. If the remaining number of rearms for the Office trial license is 0, you will receive error 0xc004d307 when running OSPPREARM.EXE.
MDT 8450, ADK 1809. Noticed during autobuild/capture task, Office 2019 does not rearm and gives an error. This happens no matter if using Windows 10 Enterprise 10 1803 or 1809. Office 2016 works fine on both of these OS's. Manually running OSPPREARM.EXE seems to work fine, at least it gives the rearm successful. Here is a screen from the BDD.log of the error:
Like in earlier Office versions, when installing Office 2019/2016 or Office 365, a user is offered to try the product for free during 30 days. In 30 days some of the Office features are blocked, and a user is prompted to purchase a license and activate the product (using a retail/MAK key or a KMS activation), or to uninstall Office completely. However, there is a little trick that allows you to extend your Microsoft Office free trial period up to 180 days.
The MS Office package (both the classic MSI package of Office 2016/2013/2010 and the Click2Run distribution of Office 2019/Office 365) includes a special tool, ospprearm.exe, which is located in the directory:
You now rearm your Office 2016/365 copy and extend free trial to 30 days. You can run this command up to five (5) times on every 30 days of trial. Thus, you can extend the total time of using the Office 2016 trial version up to 180 days (6 * 30 days). You can check the current activation status and the number of days left for the grace period to end as follows.
If you intend to rearm Office 2013 SP1, you first have to check whether you have a retail edition or a volume edition. You can buy the retail edition in shops, and you can download it from various online stores. The evaluation edition you can download from Microsoft is also a retail version. Even MSDN subscribers can only download the retail edition. The volume edition is only available for volume customers through the Volume Licensing Service Center.

Note that, previously, you could rearm Office five times. This gave you an activation grace period of 180 days. I think the 120 days should be enough to activate your Office installations in a couple of days with the various methods (KMS, MAK, Active Directory activation).
The main purpose of the rearm feature is to ensure that a freshly deployed OS image that contains Office has the full 30 days before activation is required. If you deploy your image a few days after you install Office, without rearming it, the grace period will be shortened accordingly.
However, you can rearm your Office 2013 SP1 trial once, which gives you 90 days in all to evaluate Office. When I rearmed an expired Office evaluation version, I had another 30 days to test Office, and the rearm count was set to 0.
But by running a file named "ospprearm.exe," users can reset the time-until-activation to 30 days. The file is located in the folder "%installdir%\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform," where ""%installdir%" is "C:" on most machines.
The technique, dubbed "rearm" as a nod to the command used in Windows, can be used up to five times. If users perform the rearm at the end of each 30-day period, they can run Office 2010 for a total of 180 days without having to supply an activation key.
According to a Microsoft spokeswoman, who replied to questions via e-mail, the rearm feature is aimed at enterprise administrators who use a single copy, or "image," to deploy a supported operating system and accompanying software on hundreds or thousands of PCs.
Presumably, the trial copy's lifespan can then be extended using the rearm technique. Computerworld was not able to verify that, however. It's unknown whether future trial editions of Office 2010 will also demand an activation code before installation.
Microsoft seems resigned to the fact that rearm can be used by people other than IT administrators. "We allow five rearms for volume products," the company's spokeswoman said. "Of course that can be abused to let people use Office for longer periods of time without being nagged, but that's an acceptable trade-off."
Previous rearm techniques have regularly been reported by technology sites and bloggers. Last August, for example, the Windows Secrets newsletter published step-by-step instructions on using a single-line rearm command to add an additional 90 days to Windows 7's stock 30-day grace period.
