Download and use Office 2016 for FREE without a product key

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

   
   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
