Thank you for all the guides you provided to activate Office. I have the scripts stored in a file that you recommend running one at a time in command prompt window. Will these scripts activate later Office versions. I just installed Office 2024. I don't know if there is any benefit of using a later version of Office. I have used 2016, 2019, and 2021 and can't see much difference in any of them. I did have one little hiccup when installing Office 2024. I uninstalled Office 2019 before installing 2024, which installed smoothly. When I opened Word or Excel it was still 2019. I found some information with a couple of scripts that I ran to display the Office versions installed. I had to add the last five digits of the 2019 product key into the script which removed it from my system. Then after rebooting both Word and Excel opened in version 2024 correctly and were activated. Thank you.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Geo Johnson","url":""}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/msguides.com\/office-2019#Comment3","dateCreated":"2026-02-08 04:23:23","description":"Hello, does the command to convert your retail license to volume one mentioned in this article, work with the changes specified below, even with Office 2024 Pro Plus ?\r\n\r\nfor \/f %x in ('dir \/b ..\\root\\Licenses16\\ProPlus2024VL*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs \/inslic:\"..\\root\\Licenses16\\%x\"","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mark","url":""}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/msguides.com\/office-2019#Comment4","dateCreated":"2026-01-29 06:41:47","description":"If you want to activate Office in a legit and safe way, you can get your original license key\ud83d\udd11 at an affordable price + Instant Delivery\u26a1 from here \ud83d\udc49 digistoun.com","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"IMPORTANT!!!","url":""}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/msguides.com\/office-2019#Comment5","dateCreated":"2026-01-18 01:32:31","description":"Method 1 worked for me, thanks!!!","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"George","url":""}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/msguides.com\/office-2019#Comment6","dateCreated":"2026-01-09 17:47:38","description":"GRACIAS TIO FUNCIONO AL 100% YA TENIA INSTALADO EL PROGRAMA PERO AUN ASI CON LA ISO REALICE EL PASO DE 0 Y TENGO TODO ACTIVADO, MUCHAS GRACIAS.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"DANIEL GOMEZ","url":""}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/msguides.com\/office-2019#Comment7","dateCreated":"2025-11-28 06:38:54","description":"Thanks man it Worked","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Kumar V P","url":""}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/msguides.com\/office-2019#Comment8","dateCreated":"2025-11-08 14:06:50","description":"Hello\r\nI just used your batch to activate office 2019 on my Win10 machine successfully.

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.
