1. Using KMS client key to activate your Office
manually
How to activate Office 2016 using KMS commands
Time needed: 1 minute.

Activate your Office 2016 via command line using legal product key.
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.

1. Find the Office location in your Windows and move to there.

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.
cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16
cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16

2. Convert your Office to volume version if you are using retail one.
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.
for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\proplusvl_kms*.xrm-ms') do cscript
ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x"

3. Install Office client key and activate your Office.

Make sure your PC is connected to the internet, then run the following
command.
cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:XQNVK-8JYDB-WJ9W3-YJ8YR-WFG99
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:BTDRB >nul
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:KHGM9 >nul
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:CPQVG >nul
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:kms8.msguides.com
cscript ospp.vbs /setprt:1688
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
