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.
This may take a while, please wait.
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.
Step 1.2: Open location of the Office installed on your PC.
cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16
cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16If 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:23.226.136.46
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.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16>for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\ProPlus2019VL*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x"

Step 2.2: Save the text file as a batch file with .cmd extension. (Eg. office2019.cmd).
Step 2.3: Run this batch file with admin rights.
Step 2.4: Check activation status again.
Done! You Office has been activated successfully.
Note: If your PC can not connect to any KMS servers, please try running the batch file again.
More information:
- Here is KMS client key of Office 2019: NMMKJ-6RK4F-KMJVX-8D9MJ-6MWKP.
- 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.
If you would have any questions or concerns, please leave your comments. I would be glad to explain in more details. Thank you so much for all your feedback and support!
This worked great until recently. It appears both Office 2016 & 2019 are no longer being activated. Used the downloads from your site and the activation scripts.
MS Office Pro Plus 2019
Windows 10 (clean installed 1903) & updated prior to installing Office.
Office 2019 & 2016 both install well but will not activate , even following the instructions.
It reports the “Product Activated Successfully ” but then opening any of the programs they report they aren’t activated.
Thanks for your work and hope to find a solution to this.
Make up your mind want Office 2016 or office 2019. Uninstall the one you don’t want.
Check activation, if haven’t activate, search for the right KMS Activation method to activate.
Done
Enjoy
Hi Kwong,
I first installed Office 2016 like I did many times before.
I then activated it using the script like I have done before.
This time the, even though the script reported success at activating, when I run word, excel, etc, none of them have actually been activated.
I uninstalled 2016, then rebooted.
I repeated the procedure with Office Pro Plus 2019 and it had the same issue.
Thank you.
When you install Office 2016 and activate fail. You can try reactivate it. If you want install another copy Office 2016 for activation, you must first uninstall the old version of office 2016 before reinstall Office 2016 and activate.

Google: Completely uninstall Office with the uninstall support tool
Uninstall all office programs manually in your PC.
Reboot PC.
Try again.
Make sure first your windows system is activated before installation of Office program.
Thanks mate,
Before I saw your reply I kept on fiddling and opened up Publisher. It came up with the screens to activate and I went through it again but, the funny thing is that it activated as 2016! When I now open any of the Office suite the boot logo says 2019 but it is the 2016 version inside… very strange!
Anyhow, it works so I’m not fussed but thank you for your reply. 🙂
Hi! Thank you so much!!! It really works!!!
Know I just have a question… It’s okay if any of the applications of Microsoft can access to the internet? Or it’s better if it’s not connected?
Upgrade is from Microsoft like retail version. It is legal to use, just connect to internet as normal use.
Browsing internet need connect to internet.
Activation will automatic renew to 180 days every seventh day when you online.
I ran the batch file as admin with internet conection enable, but it didn’t work, it keeps saying: Sorry! Your version is not supported. Please try installing the latest version here: bit.ly/aiomsp. I don´t have other versions of Office installed in my laptop, I brought it a couple days ago and is basicaly almost the same as the first day. What is the problem? sorry for my english, is not my lenguaje. Thanks
Make sure Windows in your laptop no error or missing driver etc. Ie error found, need to repair before retry activation.
can u please tell me that which type of error or driver would be missing from the laptop.
1、How do I repair Windows without a disk?
To access it, follow these instructions:
Boot the computer.
Press F8 and hold until your system boots into Windows Advanced Boot Options.
Select Repair Cour Computer.
Select a keyboard layout.
Click Next.
Login as an administrative user.
Click OK.
At the System Recovery Options window, select Startup Repair.
2、Drivers missing or outdate: device manager, any yellow exclamation mark .
Remove all devices with an exclamation mark and any Other devices from Device Manager by highlighting them and pressing the delete key on the keyboard. Once they have all been removed, reboot the computer and allow Windows to re-detect the devices.
If after rebooting the computer, the Device Manager remains the same, Windows is not installing the devices because it lacks the proper driver support. You need to download the latest drivers for that device or use the original installation disc that came with the hardware.
Hi,
I tried to activate the office 2019 using the provided script. But it didn’t activate.
Tried our several time with it. but still no hope.
Any other fix for this???
Any error when you do activation?
KMS activation must run bu admin right online.
It is not showing any error. But after the script closes i reboot the system and while checking found that office 2019 was not activated.
The activation batch file will not automatic close. Follow the above step try again. You can keep try activate until success .
But don’t have more than a copy of office 2019 install in the same PC.
wow this really worked, I was able to activate office student and it worked! thank you!!!
Any ways to use this for mac?
Microsoft only approve KMS activation method run ON PC And Laptop. Mac is not Microsoft Product, answer is won’t work.
thanks it really work please try it!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Guang, does the batch file code install any KMS related services / scripts on the machine ? If yes, please let me know how to remove them ? I have obtained a licensed version of Office 2019 from one of my friends’ and need to install that. I do not want any remaining scripts / services installed by the code to hinder the activation process for the new install. Please let me know. Thanks.
Top Search : Uninstall Microsoft product trial license or KMS license completely

Done

METRO BOOMIN WANT SOME MORE N***A
Please help, it keeps saying “Sorry! Your version is not supported.Please try installing the latest version here: bit.ly/aiomsp” even after running it in administrator mode and with my internet connected, what do i do from here?
P.S.: I also noticed something a bit funny, i think during the installation of the ms office, it gave this error: “this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer, Please contact your system administrator”, but it still finished installating and i opened WORD and got to the part of activation, which expires Monday 1 July 2019, before closing the it, might this be linked to the problem?
Fixing the Registry
Programs can be kept from running by adding them to a key called DisallowRun in the Windows Registry. To remove these restrictions, follow the following steps.
Open regedit by clicking your start button and typing regedit and pressing enter.
Find \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\ and delete the key called DisallowRun.
Hy Dear,
Thanks for your hard work. I download the office 2019 from https://msguides.com/download-microsoft-office-windows-os and then installed it. After that i copy the cmd file code and save as you instructed while executing the file via run as admin i get this error ” Sorry your version is not supported” Please try to install the latest version here: the link i shared above. I stuck at this step guide me to rectify it.
KMS Activation method must run with admin right online.
I got initially an error “Your version of Office is not supported” but this was my own mistake of not running the batch file as admin.
Then I did not have internet connection even though windows was indicating so. My fault again.
After these initial errors, I got through and “activated” the Office.
Your KMS service works like a charm. Well done.
Thank you!
not working
only two words ” not working”.
No one can help you to solve your activation problem.
How can I do that bro. I have done what you have explained in the video, Please help.
Top click in community, create a question with activation photo support.
Mr Guang or others will help you to solve your problem.
thanks so much. After 2 days of extensive googling….you method finally worked.
Keep up the good work.
hi.
can. you list down the steps for mac as well?
please let me know
thanks
Microsoft only give out KMS Host key for servers, and KMS activation key for PC and LAPtop to use for activation only.
MAC Boss is not Microsoft. There is no way run KMS Activation Method on Mac, Tablet, Mobile etc.
IT works initially but then reverts back to unactivated within 24hra
Same can be said of your windows 10 activator.
Is there anyway to stop this as otherwise i have to run the activator everyday and if activation ceases whilst i’m working on a document then I cant save it 🙁
Each time you fail activate, must use the same copy of Windows or Office program to reactivate.
Or uninstall the old copy of Windows or Office Program before reinstall and try activation. Otherwise, onl;y the unactivate Windows or Office Porgram will pop up for activation.
Windows 10 or Office 2019, must only have one copy in the same PC, otherwise only the fail activation Version will pop up.
Thank you my man..works like a charm !
Bless you !!
Thank you my man..works like a charm !
Bless you !!
I ran the batch file as admin…Even after it says Activation was successful, when I check in the app like word, it shows Activation Required.
I bet you install the Office software more than one time. After the activation success, only the without activation word app will pop up.
Control panel, uninstall the Office program you don’t need.
Restart PC
Done

It seems that after last windows update it is not working. Any feedback about that?
Windows 10 update won’t affect KMS activation.
Repair Windows 10 please.
