Download and use Office 2016 for FREE without a product key
Office 2016 is the latest version of the Microsoft Office productivity suite, succeeding Office 2013. New features of Office 16 include the ability to manage and work with files in Microsoft OneDrive from the lock screen, a powerful search tool for support and commands called “Tell me” and co-authoring mode with users connected to Office Online.
Download original Office 2016 ISO
You can get the latest version of Microsoft Office here if you do not have it. Once your download is complete, you need to extract the original ISO image from the zip file. You will be left with a file named “SW_DVD5_Office_Professional_Plus_2016_W32_English…” (W32 here in the filename refers to the 32-bit version if you download the 64-bit version, the filename will contain 64Bit instead). Although an ISO file is used to burn CD/DVD or a USB flash drive, you can install Office 2016 without burning it using 7-Zip or similar archive software utility. Here is what you get after extracting the ISO file.
Installing Microsoft Office 2016
Simply run the setup file (named setup.exe) to install Office on your Windows.
Note: By default, Office will be installed in “C:\Program Files”.
Done!
Activate all versions of Office 2016 for FREE permanently
1. Using KMS client key to activate your Office manually
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.
Step 1.1: 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
Step 1.2: 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"
Step 1.3: 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:107.175.77.7
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

Hi, wanna say thank you! I got activated my MS Office using your trick. G*d bless you.
I was able to activate Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 with no issues at all. I’ve used the batch script method on a Windows 10 (registered version) laptop. Thanks for your great work!

& check your system requirements too.
Had been using this KMS technique since last so many years. But this message has started to appear since last few days:
“ACTION NEEDED: Your license is not genuine, and you may be a victim of software counterfeiting. Avoid interruption and keep your files safe with genuine Office today.”
Any advise !?!?!

Hello,
Thanks for the script; Office is activated but the following message pops up:
“ACTION NEEDED Your license isn’t genuine, and you may be a victim of software counterfeiting, Avoid interruption and keep your files safe with genuine Office today.”
Do you know how to stop this message?
Regards.
