Renew Microsoft Office/Windows KMS license for FREE manually
By default, KMS license is valid for only 180 days and it will be renewed every 7 days as from the date of activation. However, in some cases, this process can be stuck. The following are some reasons for this problem.
- Your PC is not connected to the internet or the connection is unstable when the license renewal process is called.
- You are using a third-party firewall so the connection to KMS server is denied.
- You are using different versions of Office on your PC. Retail and Volume version on the same PC?
Workarounds
- Make sure your PC is always connected and your internet connection is stable.
- If you are using another firewall, please open port 1688.
- Please do not use Office retail and volume on the same Windows.
How to renew KMS license
1. Renew Microsoft Office license
Step 1.1: Open command prompt as administrator.
Step 1.2: Copy and run the command below. Note: “Office16” is code name of Office 2016. If you are using Office 2013/2010, just replace it with “Office15” and “Office14”.
cscript "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs" /actIf you see an error, try this command.
cscript "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs" /act
Done!
2. Renew Microsoft Windows license
Step 2.1: Open command prompt as administrator.
Step 2.2: Execute this command.
cscript slmgr.vbs /atoYour license is renewed successfully!
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!

Hello sir!
I’ve been trying to activate office using kms license from 3 days. But it doesn’t work. It shows error that says “An error occurred while making the connection.” Error code: -2147217394
Please help me🥺
O*G this was amazing. Thanks a lot for your support to the online community.
I’m not sure if this is the correct place but I looked for hours and this is the only place I see to leave comments. I did you trick to install windows 11 on older machines and it worked and my question is…are there any features that are removed when you do it this way?
Thanks,
Tom

Is it still working? I tried again and again but still can not connect KMS
why after activating it from 365 pro plus version becomes 2016 professional
Because you must uninstall all previous version of office on your machine, reboot, and then reinstall your new office 35pro/plus. Any remaining remnants of office even if slight piece remaining on your machine will make all new installs invalid. Another way is to download an office suite cleaner on microsoft website.
C est le logiciel ,Office365 Pro.
Et la licence est Microsoft Office 2016 Pro
Voila !😊

will not be published. Required fields are marked
i followed the steps and for some days i thought i am using Office 365. However I noticed that the product activated is Office 2016. In control panel it shows Office 365. Now after few days it looks like I am using Office 2016. Please help me out with 365. As i know some basics only.
Thank you
Same to me… always activate 2016… never 365 (and its installed… when you uninstall the key office shows 365)
Don’t know how to activate 365

I have the same problem like you, did you able to renew the license key ?
Or this site / KMS server already down …?
Where is the author ? hibernate ?
Someone pls wake him up………..
The problem may be with the location of the Office16 folder, you may have the incorrect path to it and it can not find the ospp.vbs because its looking in the wrong place
try switching to one of these directories
cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16
cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16
or using one or the other cmds
C:\WINDOWS\system32>cscript “%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs” /act
C:\WINDOWS\system32>cscript “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs” /act
Hi Guang,
I did the steps as mentioned and got the “Product activated successfully” as well but still when I go to Office it says your not office is not genuine!
In the accounts it shows “Product activated”
What am I Doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Samir
Same problem as vini. Tried all the options on website. Upon opening any of the Office Pro features, a Microsoft popup box says “Why risk it? Get genuine Office You may be a victim of software counterfeiting. Risks of using counterfeit software can include great exposure to malware attacks, corrupt files, data loss, and missing out on critical security updates. Avoid the risk and get a genuine Office license today.” I thought I had it working with the process for downloading from Microsoft via the link you had posted on website and dont think I saw it afterwards yesterday, but still there today. I did go months and even did a renewal in past months, but well, how do we fix this now????
Hello, Thanks for all you share with us
I have a problem when a execute this commande : cscript slmgr.vbs /ato
Error : 0x8007007B
my office is working but i’m getting a message saying that the office is not valid or the licence is fake.
i did the command /unpkey and installed again, but the message continues.
can you help me?
MS removed the KMS Server adress with an update….? slmg /dlv says its not defined , so /ato will not work.
Hi,
I tried your solution but after using cscript, the command prompt (as admin) just got stuck.
At the bottom, I copied what I got from de command prompt. As you can see I’m using Windows in Spanish.
Windows version and Script Host are different than the one you show in your pictures:

Have tried different methods for activating the product.
Since I have availed a one month free try I was not able to activate office like other procedures.
And finally I’ve found this method and it worked super correctly and now the product is activated.
Thank you so much !!!!!!!!
