Problem: I can't activate MS Office 2013 installation running on the same server where KMS service is being run. Microsoft Office 2013 Standard deployed on the server mentioned above and on workstations on intranet, volume licensing in effect (proper KMS key for activation of Microsoft Ofice 2013 has been entered). KMS service set up and running, all the recommended updates applied (to handle possible activation issues for Windows 8 etc) Given: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64-bit, all the latest security updates applied.
