Hello @jeff obarski,

This forum is a community discussion space where users and contributors help troubleshoot issues. Unfortunately, no one here can generate or provide a Confirmation ID for Office activation as we do not have access to Microsoft's activation systems.

A Confirmation ID is issued by Microsoft's activation service after the Installation ID has been validated against a qualifying license. Because of this, the activation request cannot be completed through the Q&A forum.

To obtain a Confirmation ID for Office 2013, you will need to complete the telephone activation process:

These steps are intended as general guidance. Because system configurations and environments can differ, the behavior and results may vary between devices. Further troubleshooting may be required based on the specific setup of the affected systems.

1. Open an Office 2013 application (such as Word, Excel,...) and launch the Activation Wizard.
2. Select "Activate by Telephone".
3. Choose your country or region to receive the correct activation phone number.
4. Call the number provided and provide the Installation ID shown in the wizard.
5. After the Installation ID has been validated, you will receive a Confirmation ID.
6. Enter the Confirmation ID into the Activation Wizard to complete activation.

If telephone activation is unavailable or unsuccessful, please verify that you are using a valid Office 2013 product key and that the edition installed matches the license you own (for example, Office Professional Plus 2013, Standard 2013, etc.).

As this is a public forum, it is also recommended not posting your information such as the Installation ID and phone number to protect your privacy.

Additionally, please note that Office 2013 reached end of support on April 11, 2023. While the applications will continue to run, Microsoft no longer provides security updates, bug fixes, or technical support for Office 2013.

Because of this, if the issue is related to compatibility changes introduced by newer Windows updates or environment changes, there may not be a product fix available for Office 2013. I recommend planning an upgrade to a supported version such as Microsoft 365 Apps.

Kind regards,
