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:107.175.77.7
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

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!

plz help ME
me tooooooooo.
Oh wow. I’ve been dealing with this problem for quite some time now. Thank you so much. The method 1 worked perfectly right now Nov. 5, 2020. I skipped the nul part though because I don’t have a product key installed and it just worked. I’ll be back after 180 days. 🙂
Well, I’m back. I checked my computer profile summary through Belarc Advisor and it states that my Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 with key that ends with 6MWKP will expire on 5/4/2021. Thank you so much for the big help.
poderia explicar-me como fez? que parte pulou do script? Talvez funcione aqui comigo.
I will write it step by step so you need to read it very carefully.
1. Download ‘Belarc Advisor’ to view your computer profile summary. Find your Microsoft Office product key by typing the Windows button + F then type ‘Microsoft Office’
2. After locating your product key, copy the last 5 letters/digits, then proceed to…
3. Step 1, 2 and 3 of the 1st Method. Then…
4. This is the crucial part L**O. Step 4 of the 1st Method. (Type the last 5 letters/digits of your Microsoft Office product key on the space.)

cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:NMMKJ-6RK4F-KMJVX-8D9MJ-6MWKP
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:kms8.msguides.com
cscript ospp.vbs /act
*If there is no product key on the Belarc Advisory, it means that your Office is not licensed so it doesn’t have a product key. If that’s the case, type this instead.

cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:kms8.msguides.com
cscript ospp.vbs /act
5. You’re done. Your Office is activated successfully for 180 days. After 180 days, you need to repeat the steps I provided you but you have to include the ‘cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:6MWKP >nul’ on your next activation. 🙂

wHY i come to this step?
Muito Obrigado, tudo ok!!!!
Amazing!! it works properly on my device
Thanks for the tutorial 🙂
this work with MSProject also?
this is awesome. i have updated or installed on at least 6 computers now
Harikasın!.. Teşekkürler…
I am Having, Microsoft 2019 Home and Student to activate that I use your command but It didn’t work
It is showing that it is not the newest version
First off this could be related 2 to different issues, 1 it could be related to the fact that you have Home and Student version on your computer, and this activation script is for Professional Plus 2019, as well as the product key. I would also make sure to run each command individually don’t use the script option #2 as it will not work for the office 2019 activation anymore.
Thank youuu….
It works!
Thank you againnn..

same problem.
This is because you are trying to use a Professional Plus activation on a product that isn’t Professional Plus. The error your receiving is because if you look at the product key you will see it has KHGM9 and not 6MWKP as stated in the script above. Uninstall the version you have and install Professional Plus instead.
Here is the link that MSGUIDES.com provides on their other page to directly download ProPlus 2019 for x86/x64. Just remember to make sure that depending on your architecture that you install whether its x86 or x64 to adjust the script for the correct directory based on your computer. http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/492350f6-3a01-4f97-b9c0-c7c6ddf67d60/media/en-us/ProPlus2019Retail.img
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.
Yes, i have a same problem

Why do I have 2 keys installed and why is there an error
I think it means you’re just g*y.
First things first, make sure you don’t already have Office 2016 installed on your system, if you do then you are going to have to remove it completely, if you did remove it, restart your computer to make sure its completely removed and you are starting fresh. If you didn’t already install Office 2019, then install it, and if it is installed, open up a command Prompt as admin and follow the commands 1 by 1.
cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16
for /f %x in (‘dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\ProPlus2019VL*.xrm-ms’) do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:”..\root\Licenses16\%x”
cscript ospp.vbs /setprt:1688
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:6MWKP >nul
cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:NMMKJ-6RK4F-KMJVX-8D9MJ-6MWKP
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:kms8.msguides.com
cscript ospp.vbs /act
You shouldn’t receive any errors while doing this, if you continue to get any errors and if its still related to Office 2016 then your going to change 1 thing follow this command scripting instead
cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16
for /f %x in (‘dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\ProPlus2019VL*.xrm-ms’) do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:”..\root\Licenses16\%x”
cscript ospp.vbs /setprt:1688
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:6MWKP >nul
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:WFG99 >nul
cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:NMMKJ-6RK4F-KMJVX-8D9MJ-6MWKP
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:kms8.msguides.com
cscript ospp.vbs /act
By adding in the 1 extra command for cscript to remove your office 2016 product key which should help now, also if it says everything completed with no errors, and it says Product Activated Successfully and then you open word or another program and asks you to sign in just click don’t sign in and gives you the famous product activation key window saying it isn’t activated, just simply click on the upper right X to close that window only, it should now leave you on the new document screen, just click on account and it should show product is activated and it will work from there on out.
I hope this helps you let me know if it does thanks!!!
I now got an Office 365 subscription, how can I remove the KMS license completely from my system?
