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
The system cannot find the path specified.

Method 2: Using batch scripts
This one is not recommended anymore due to the new update of Microsoft.
Step 2.1: Copy the following code into a new text document.

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!
I trierd this on my office 16 and it worked thanks
Upon entering this script
cscript ospp.vbs /setprt:1688
i’m getting this line
No Office KMS licenses were found on the system.
But before i enter that 1688 script it say Office license installed successfully.
Here it is the last line before i enter that 1688 script.

As of mid June 2021 the result ends with:

Thank for it while it lasted though!
Thank You!…
Method 1: Worked for me with file installation from HomeBusiness2019Retail.img
How do I remove/undo all this… plz help
reinstall windows
thank you
Not working anymore on new versions and updates.
Please re-check.
Doesn’t work anymore
The manual method worked flawlessly.
Will I get the same positive results if I substitute my own key info in the script?
Someone at Microsoft noticed this trick and now it doesn’t work anymore……
It worked for me
just install old version of MS Office 2019 if it don’t work
No funciona mas.
just install old version of MS Office 2019
Worked for a long time, but now I’m getting a “this is not genuine Windows” message. Tried re-doing, same result.
just install old version of MS Office 2019
What do you mean old version? I just refollowed the same steps I did for the initial setup that worked before… Where would I find an older version?
Follow his instructions here. If the first method listed doesn’t work, try the registry alteration. Either should work fine. Note: Before you do ANYTHING to the registry, export it to FIRST to a USB stick. If none of this makes sense about the registry, then don’t do it. Stick with the first method only. See explanation and instructions at his link below.
https://msguides.com/remove-you-may-be-victim-software-counterfeiting
I can assure new method doesn’t work.
1. Download the version he recommends from his link here that comes directly from MS’s downloads:
https://msguides.com/download-microsoft-office-windows-os
2. Uninstall the current Office version restart your computer.
3. Install Office from the Image you just downloaded and once installed, DO NOT put your key in.
4. Start command line and navigate to the Office directory. By default it’s: C:\Programs Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16
5. Follow the manual instructions here:
https://msguides.com/office-2019
The manual method worked FLAWLESSLY for me. The current auto script is going to require some MAJOR tweaking. The author himself currently doesn’t recommend that you use it as of this writing 16 Jun 2021. Also, you have to turn off Windows Defender and other software to get it to even run. Defender will actually automatically delete the file if you try to created it.
Question.
How can I undo this script or remove this method?
I decided to purchase a license key because this method did not work anymore. I entered it, but it still displays “you may be victim…” Even though I uninstalled and reinstall it, the license key does not work.
I guess this script is still point to the KMS server.
How can I remove this?
Finally got the real solution. thank you
Hello everyone! Just posting this to get your thoughts about why Ross Ulbricht was given such a harsh sentence 2 life imprisonment + 40 years without parole. He just created a site Silk Road.He was not a mafia or a drug dealer or a murderer.For more information visit freeros.org
You are the best man your trick always works. Thank You
“Why Risk it? Get genuine office”- It shoes like this within a week? What to do
just install old version of MS Office 2019
Super wszystko działa, wielkie dzięki!
I’ve tried both methods all day long, but i keep getting the “The connection to my KMS server failed! Trying to connect to another one…” error, I really don’t know what to do
Now it tells that the license is not official.
What can I do?
works for me in 2nd option creating .cmd
Does not work
1.Office 2016-2019等版本用KMSpico等小软件激活
2.按这个步骤:文件→底部找到账户→ 管理设置→ 去掉所有勾选
3.关闭重启office
4.随便网上找一个号称永久激活的密钥，在账户里点击更改产品秘钥，粘贴进去
5.重新打开office
But if you just install an office with a trial period, it will be eternal?
It was working good and office 2019 was activated but looks like some new update has spoiled the activation and it is showing a message that the office is not activated.
Tried the script again but still no luck.
Thanks.
Not work any more
Process work perfect and few days ago another notification to ask office 2019 licence official
Same here, h**k works till Office goes online and tell you that the copy of office is not genuine
