Install and activate Office 2019
for FREE legally using Volume
license
After a series of preview versions, Microsoft finally came out with an
official version of Office 2019. It is the stable one, this means you
can download and use it right now without worrying about fatal
errors which you have gotten in beta versions before. However, I
regret to inform that according to the disclosures, Microsoft Office
2019 only works on Windows 10 or later. So if you are using
Windows 8, 8.1 or older versions, you will not be able to install it.
Honestly I hate what Microsoft have done to force users to use
Windows 10. In my opinion, Office 2016 is still a good choice for
casual users at the moment.

How to download Office 2019 from
Microsoft homepage
If you have an Office 365 subscription, your Office will be upgraded
to the latest version automatically without doing anything. However,
if you are using Office 2016 or earlier versions, to make sure that
Office 2019 will work normally, please uninstall your old version of
Office completely before starting a new installation. If you do not
have Office 2019 already, just go here to get official download link
from Microsoft homepage and select the version you want.
Installing Office 2019 without a
product key
After the download process is complete, you will get an img file. Just
open it then run the setup file to install Office 2019 on your PC.
Office 2019 installation progress
Upon successful installation, you can open any Office program to
verify some basic information.
Just skip the “enter product key” window by clicking close button at
the top right corner.

And as you can see, I am using Office Professional Plus 2019 and the
trial license will expire in 7 days.

Activating Office 2019 using KMS
license key
Method 1: Running commands one by one
manually
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
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.
Open Office folder
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.
Convert Office license
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
The system cannot find the path specified.

The KMS license of Office 2019 is valid for 180 days only but it
can be renewed automatically so you neednt worry so much
about the period.
