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.

  5. Hi Guand.

    Thanks for sharing your contribution to access these programs. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for me. I’ve tried both methods but anyone of them worked for install Project 2019. I tried the Projet 2016 process for Project 2019 but didn’t work also.
    During the first process, I could see that this part of msg doesn’t appear in the CMD screens:

    Installed product key detected – attempting to activate the following product:
    SKU ID: 2ca2bf3f-949e-446a-82c7-e25a15ec78c4
    LICENSE NAME: Office 19, Office19ProjectPro2019VL_KMS_Client_AE edition
    LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 19, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel
    Last 5 characters of installed product key: PKD2B

    —————————————
    —————————————
    —Exiting—————————–

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16>

    The other method runs good, but when I start the Project, he keeps in the trial version.
    Could you help me?

  6. Hello, the activationes doesn’t work.

    1. In many cases, you can install Office, Project, and Visio on the same computer. But, there are some combinations of Office, Project, and Visio that can’t be installed together on the same computer. The two main things that determine whether Office, Project, and Visio can be installed together on the same computer are the version of the product and the installation technology used to install the product. What governs whether an installation scenario is supported are these two rules:

      You can’t install two products together that have the same version but use different installation technologies.
      You can’t install two products of different versions together if both products use Click-to-Run as the installation technology and those products have overlapping Office applications.

  7. Excuse me but does it work with both visio 2016 standard retail and visio 2016 volume of does it work with only one of them

      1. I downloaded and installed Visio 2016 standard but it then appeared as professional and when I tried to activate it it didn’t work and it said that the product was unlicensed Please Help and Thank you

        1. If you install Office 2016 pro plus, it will become Visio Pro.

          Control panel, uninstall your Visio Program, restart PC.

          Install Visio 2019 Pro program, retry activation.

          Come up any problem, error , must solve it.

          Best bet is disable Windows Defender before activation.

  8. Hi,
    First of all, thanks for your great instructions, and explanation how to get installed ms project and visio.

    File not:
    ….\root\licenses16\projectprovl_kms_client-ppd.xrm-ms
    Could you please help me out? What should I do?
    Thanks for quick replay,
    Jose

  9. I install visio 2019 and I have a problem. I follow all the steps.

    And before applying the KMS it asks me the product key and tells me that I have until 18th of august… After KMS no product key is asked but… It says I have no licence… but i can use the app. I have no expiration date. but it says not activated.

    What do you think ?

    1. Don’t install Visio 2019 more than one time.

      Control panel., uninstall the extra Visio 2019 you do not need.

      Restart PC

      Done

      Enjoy.

  10. Connection to my KMS server failed. I have checked my internet connection and nothing wrong with that.
    What should I do now ?

    1. If no error come up, you can keep on try activate until success.

      Activation only success run the KMS activation method with admin right online.

  11. Hello, i did a re-installation of my OS, and later installed office 2019 and visio 2019. when i try to use the KMS code, i get ”the connection to my KMS server failed!”
    I have been trying for days now still no way out.

    Please any help

    1. reinstall Windows need to activate success first before install Office 2019 and Visio 2019 and try activation run by admin right online.

      reinstall Windows meant before your windows system have error, must make sure no more error before activation of Office 2019 and Visio 2019.

  12. My greeting, I tried using you method many times but the results are the same it keeps on failing because of ”KMS”
    What am I suppose to do ?

    1. Activation success must run KMS activation method with admin right online.

      Don’t try to install more than one copy Oroject or Visio on ssame PC.

  13. Above it says someone reported your links to download the programs, where can I download Project 2019, or even a bit earlier? so I can use your system.

    Thanks

    1. Control Panel: uninstall project (2007)

      Restart PC.

  14. I activated my Project Professional 2019 with your KMS licence a few months ago, but as i tried to activate it again via the cmd file, it didn’t work. I tried making the cmd file again by copying the code at your site, but still no result. The cmd file says that the activation was successful, but when I open Project, it still says that the product is not activated.

    Please help me, my job is at risk here

    1. KMS activation success last 180 days. Activation renew is automatic every seventh day back to 180 days when your PC connect internet.

      How long you haven’t connect internet?

      Restart PC.

      * 1st. Control panel, check have you install more than one Project Pro program. If yes, you need to uninstall any Project Pro without activation. Then check the one left behind is activate or not before use the above method.

  15. Hi Guang,
    I have downloaded, using your link Office 2019, Project 2019, Visio 2019, and following your registration procedure, I was able to register Office but no Project and Visio. Now, I found the new instruction to register them; but, as you described “Step 1” is similar to the office registration then your “Step 2” is not clear at all. Where we have to get the codes to paste into the batch file from? And how this step relates to step 1?

    1. Copy the KMS code into a new text document. You need copy the appropriate code for your product.

      Create a new text document.

      Paste the code into the text file. Then save it as a batch file with cmd extension. (eg “1click.cmd”).

      Run the batch file with administrator rights.

      Please wait…

      Done.

      Enjoy.
