Important:
If you set up an Office 2013 KMS host on Windows 8: Although the Office 2013 Preview Volume License Pack dialog box indicates that you can either use the Volume Activation (VA) server role or run slmgr.vbs, the VA server role requires that there you have a Windows Server 2012 installed on your network to load the server role against. Instead, you can run the Volume Activation Tools wizard from the Tools menu in Server Manager. You can download the wizard as part of RSAT.
For details about the VA server role, see Activating Office 2013 Preview by using the Office 2013 Preview Volume License Pack later in this article.
If you choose to use slmgr.vbs, you must run the following commands in the listed order to install and activate the KMS host key:
1.cscript slmgr.vbs /ipk [HostProductKey]
2.cscript slmgr.vbs /ato
