Solution If Activation Fails and an Error Appears
Sometimes when activating using CMD, batch files, or the KMS application, problems or errors suddenly appear so that activation cannot proceed. One error that often appears when activation using CMD or a batch file fails is that Office 2019 doesn’t support it.
Another error description that sometimes appears is CScript Error: Windows Script Host access is disabled on this machine, Contact your administrator for details . This error usually appears when activation using the KMS application fails.
The appearance of an error statement Office doesn’t support or Windows Script Host is disabled is not because your Office 2019 cannot be activated using the methods above, but because there are other things that prevent activation from working as it should.
One reason is because the Smadav application blocks the Windows Script Host. Even though Windows Script Host is really needed when activating using CMD, batch files, or KMS applications.
So, if your laptop has the Smadav application, it is certain that this application is the cause of the activation not being successful. The solution, please allow Windows Script Host in the Smadav application. To do this, just follow the guide in the tutorial on how to deal with Windows Script Host is disabled .
After the Windows Script Host on Smadav is allowed, then please do the Activate Office 2019 process again using the method previously done. Because the Windows Script Host is no longer blocked, the activation process can now run smoothly and successfully.
Check Office 2019 Has Been Activated or Not
After you activate using one of the methods above, you also need to check the activation status of Office 2019 , whether it is actually active or not. To check the activation status in Office 2019, please reopen one of the Office 2019 products, for example Word 2019, Excel 2019, PowerPoint 2019, or others.
Then, please click the File menu then click the Account option on the left. On that page you will find Product Activated information , which means Office 2019 installed on your laptop has been successfully activated.
Because it’s already active, now you can use Microsoft Word 2019, Excel 2019, and PowerPoint 2019 to type and edit document files normally again.
Check Office 2019 Active Period, Permanent or Not
After you have successfully activated Office 2019, maybe now you are wondering whether your Office is permanently activated or not? If it’s not permanent, how long is the active period?
In general, if you activate using the original Office 2019 license, then your Office will be permanently activated. However, if you activate using CMD, batch files or crack software such as the KMS activator as in the methods above, the active period is only 180 days or 6 months.
To find out more clearly how much longer your Office 2019 is active, you can follow the steps in the tutorial on how to check Office’s active period . You don’t need to worry, because even though it is not permanently active and only active for 6 months, the Office can still be used at any time.
In order to continue using it, you only need to re-activate it every time the active period is almost up. In other words, you can use Office 2019 at any time as long as you reactivate it every 6 months.
