Follow these steps to Activate all versions of Office 2016 with KMS (via CMD):
1. Run CMD (symbol of the system) as administrator.
2. Run the following command to go to the Office location 2016 in the CMD.
If you installed Office in Program Files (usually on disk C), run one of the following commands depending on the architecture (32 O 64 bits). If you don't know what architecture it is, then run both. One will show an error, but the other will work:
cd /d %ProgramFiles%Microsoft OfficeOffice16
cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%Microsoft OfficeOffice163. Convert your RETAIL version to VL (Volume license)
To do this, run the following command. If you already have a volume version, you can skip this step.
for /f %x in ('dir /b ..rootLicenses16proplusvl_kms*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..rootLicenses16%x"4. Finally, install the KMS key by running this code in the CMD.
Remember that for this last step it is necessary to be connected to the Internet.
Now you just have to wait for the confirmation message in the console and you will have activated Microsoft Office.
To verify activation, open any program in the office suite (for example, Word). Now go to File> Accountand check that the product is activated.
If it does not appear as activated after correctly following the steps above, restart your PC and check again.
Batch script
Due to the new update from Microsoft, this method is no longer recommended.
If you have the Professional Plus or Standard edition, you can activate Microsoft Office without regedit and without having to make a phone call by following these steps:
1. Create a text document (with notepad) and copy this script.
2. Later, save it as batch file with extension .CMD (for example: activator.cmd).
3. Run the Office activator 2016 (activator.cmd) as administrator.
4. Wait for the confirmation message.
That's how easy it is to activate Word, Excel and other applications, without a license and permanently.
Also remember that you can always use the online version of Office, for which it is necessary to have an Internet connection.
