Step 1.1: Open command prompt in administrator mode.
First, you need to open command prompt with admin rights, then follow the
instruction below step by step. Just copy/paste the commands and do not forget to
hit Enter in order to execute them.
Open cmd as admin
Open cmd as admin
Step 1.2: Open location of the Office installed on your PC.
cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16
cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16
If you install your Office in the ProgramFiles folder, the path will be
“%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16” or “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft
Office\Office16”. It depends on the architecture of the Windows OS you are using.
If you are not sure of this issue, don’t worry, just run both of the commands
above. One of them will be not executed and an error message will be printed on the
screen.

Step 1.3: Convert your retail license to volume one.
for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\ProPlus2019VL*.xrm-ms') do cscript
ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x"
If your Office is got from Microsoft, this step is required. On the contrary, if
you install Office from a Volume ISO file, this is optional so just skip it if you
want.

Step 1.4: Activate your Office using KMS client key.
Make sure your PC is connected to the internet, then run the following command.
cscript ospp.vbs /setprt:1688
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:6MWKP >nul
cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:NMMKJ-6RK4F-KMJVX-8D9MJ-6MWKP
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:e8.us.to
cscript ospp.vbs /act
If you see the error 0xC004F074, it means that your internet connection is unstable
or the server is busy. Please make sure your device is online and try the command
“act” again until you succeed.
Here is all the text you will get in the command prompt window.
C:\Windows\system32>cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16>cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft
Office\Office16
