How to install and use Project / Visio (2016/2019/2021) without product key

The majority of Microsoft software products have a 30-days trial in order to let the user try them for free. This allow users to see the value of the product and if they have been happy with it, they might consider paying for a license. However, spending hundreds of dollars is a big problem for people having very low incomes, particularly in some of the poorest regions. If you are students or teachers and your school is part of the program, you will have a chance to use most Microsoft products at no cost. And if you are not a beneficiary of this program, using KMS method is a perfect solution you can consider.

In today’s post, I will go into detail on how to download and use Project, Visio (2021, 2019 and 2016) without product key. First of all, you can download the latest version here if you dont have it already. Because it is stored as an ISO file so once your download completes, you have to extract it. Then just run the setup file to begin installing like you normally would.

After successful installation, you will get be enrolled in a 30 day free monthly trial. When the trial ends, the most important features will be disabled and you have to purchase a license key to continue using the service.
But what is really amazing is that you can easily get a free 6 months license by using KMS method. Importantly, you can renew the license easily when the period has expired (*). Just follow the instructions below exactly and make sure your internet connection is active.

1. Activating Project, Visio manually

Activate MS Project for FREE with KMS key
Using MS Visio without a product key

Step 1.1: Open location of the Project/Visio installed on your PC.
If you install it 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.

cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16
cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16
open project/visio folder on cmd

Step 1.2: Convert your retail license to volume one.
This step is required. You can not install the KMS client product key of Project/Visio without a volume license.

For Project 2016:

cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\ProjectProVL_KMS_Client-ppd.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\ProjectProVL_KMS_Client-ul-oob.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\ProjectProVL_KMS_Client-ul.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance-bridge-office.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance-root.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance-root-bridge-test.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance-stil.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance-ul.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance-ul-oob.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\pkeyconfig-office.xrm-ms"

For Project 2021:

cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\pkeyconfig-office.xrm-ms"&(for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x")&(for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\projectprovl_kms*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x")&(for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\projectpro2021vl_kms*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x")

For Visio 2016:

cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\VisioProVL_KMS_Client-ppd.xrm-ms" &cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\VisioProVL_KMS_Client-ul-oob.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\VisioProVL_KMS_Client-ul.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance-bridge-office.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance-root.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance-root-bridge-test.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance-stil.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance-ul.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance-ul-oob.xrm-ms"&cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\pkeyconfig-office.xrm-ms"

For Visio 2019:

cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\pkeyconfig-office.xrm-ms"&(for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x")&(for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\visioprovl_kms*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x")&(for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\visiopro2019vl_kms*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x")

For Visio 2021:

cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\pkeyconfig-office.xrm-ms"&(for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\client-issuance*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x")&(for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\visioprovl_kms*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x")&(for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\visiopro2021vl_kms*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x")
convert retail licenses of project/visio to volume ones

Step 1.3: Activate your Project/Visio using KMS client key
Make sure your PC is connected to the internet, then run the following command. Do not forget to replace THE_CLIENT_KEY with the KMS client key of your product.

cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:THE_CLIENT_KEY
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:107.175.77.7
cscript ospp.vbs /setprt:1688
cscript ospp.vbs /act

The full list of client keys:

activate project/visio using kms key

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 the all the text I got after activating Project 2019 in my Windows 10 laptop.

  17. Hi Guang, great job, well done. But I did initially have an issue with a warning that your script for Project 2016 could not fine a path “/root….” and just hung there. I tried several times but then tried the script for Project 2019 which works! All good now but I thought I’d flag this for you. My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise.

  19. Hi. Thank you very much for these tips and codes.

    Thank you.

  30. I am absolutely shocked that this actually worked. I was 100% certain that this was going to be a scam or a virus but thus far it seems to be working perfectly. This is wonderful thank you for making it.

  31. I have 2 seats exhibiting a request for activation, after a year of running fine. We purchased the 2 seats over a year ago, and had no problems. Now all of a sudden, we have a problem, and can’t use our software we purchased for $300 per seat. I ran your code from a batch file, and it worked. It is now allowing us to use the software we paid so much for. I talked with MS tech support, and they wanted to charge us $149 each to fix the problem they said was an infection. I’m very thankful for your help! excellent programming!

  32. Hi Guang:

    First, I’d like to thank you for the great public service you are doing publishing your guides and running a KMS server to support them!!

    I activated Office 2016, Project Pro and Visio Pro using your code…thank you!

    Here is my problem:

    My hard drive started showing signs of overheating and I imaged it and transferred the image to a solid state drive. Now I find (as of July 10th 2018) my Office Pro Plus 2016, Project Pro and Visio Pro are no longer activated, I ran your activation code again and I get the error message “Sorry, your version is not supported”, I am an independent consultant and need this software suite for work.

    PLEASE, PLEASE publish new working code so we can continue to work.

    With all gratitude and sincerity…

    2. Uninstall and Reinstall again, then apply the procedures again. Keep the programs in the main Drive, probably that is C for you.

      1. I tried with Project 2019 and after the script ran I said product activated, but when I checked it had not been, I tried another activation and this confirmed activated, but again when I checked it was not activated. It tried uninstalling and re-installing MS Project again, but it still did not work, I have used Proect 2019 Standard and Professional 64 Bit.
