So on my machine I run cscript ospp.vbs /act and receive the following error -Processing. Now on my workstation I initially upgraded my Office 2013 to 2016, since then i've also uninstalled everything and reinstalled and it will not automatically activate? I've inputted my kms key, that for some reason I had to call MS to get? I've installed the Microsoft Office 2016 Volume License Pack from here

So we're running a Windows 2008R2 server as our KMS server.
