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.

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!

Sorry, the server is busy and can’t respond to your request. Please try again.
I m also getting the same problem.
DNS is not working on KMS. Substitute 104.244.78.23 for the KMS address and all will be well.
Could you elaborate?
thanks, working!!!

Dude, that IP address may cause security issues. Google IP search says it belongs to a company called FranTech Solutions. It might be a scam.
Yes it is registered to FranTech Solutions, so what? Instead of spreading doubt and alarm, why not be positive and learn about DNS, hosting companies and IP addresses…
# The KMS server used during a manual activation (details above) is named ‘s8.uk.to’
# When your computer tries to connect to that web address, your computer first contacts a Domain Name Server (DNS) which will tell it the Internet Protocol (IP) address to connect to. DNS queries take place ‘behind the scenes’. For example a browser will show the name of a website in the address bar after you’ve connected to it, but in fact your computer used a DNS and provided IP address to connect to that website. However, being shaved apes, we like seeing names and not numbers because words have meaning to us.
# You can check the IP address assigned to a named website by using a simple web search of ‘whois ‘ followed by the website name.
# If you ‘Whois s8.uk.to’ you will get its IP address… Which is 104.244.78.23
# If you see who ‘hosts’ that IP address on the internet, it is a company called FranTech Solutions. They are a hosting company.
# What is a ‘hosting company? If you want to have a website exposed to the internet, and perhaps want some resilience built in, perhaps some security, perhaps a bundled email or discussion server, you pay a ‘hosting company’ to store your website files and administer them. You are able to update those files, as and when you wish.
# THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WORKS.
What a c**p lecturing attempt. We say here for those who talk craps ‘get real mate’.
‘Wikipedia’ – ‘Psychological_projection’
Thanks It is working 😉
thank u for sucess!! g*d bless u!!
!!!!WARNING!!!!
A simple dns request would direct you to s8.now.im – > 185.53.177.52 (as of today, 21/11/2021).
Be carefull of what ip are you using.
Commands i run in cmd:
nslookup s8.now.im 1.1.1.1 (this is a dns request with cloudflare’s dns)
s8.now.im 8.8.8.8 (this is a dns request with google’s dns)
Same here….november 2021 is not working! I did everything according the description and is not activating! 🙁
Worked yesterday, but today is not working.
Exactly I’m already tried a lot today but it’s not working…

i did that bro, but it saying the same thing
how can i uninstall ms office, i followed the last step for activation
https: // support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/uninstall-office-from-a-pc-9dd49b83-264a-477a-8fcc-2fdf5dbf61d8
Download uninstall tool by selecting option 2 to completely uninstall. Run that tool at least 2-3 times. sometimes first run does not clear remnants.
Batch or script for Office 2019 is not working to activate Office 2021. Any coming activation batch or script for 2021 Office?
in 2021 november not working
Hi, thanks for your hard works and sharing them with us poor fellas. Any Office 2021 activation tutorial upcoming soon?
hey people, I activated Office LTSC pro plus 2021 x64 bit. There is a ‘Microsoft Office 15’ folder in Program files. (There is no any office folder in Program files(x86) i think as it is x64 bit default location is Program files). There is a sub folder ‘Clientx64’ in that folder in which there are ‘IntegretedOffice’ and ‘OfficeClickToRun’ applications with orange coloured office setup application icons. Are those office 15 folder and its content normal proprietary folders applications of Office 2021? Thanks in advance.
Thank you. Activation was successful!
Quick question: After the activation of Microsoft Office 2019, can i activate my Microsoft Defender Antivirus?
