Legal way to use Office 365 totally FREE, without paying a dime
Remove your current trial license
This step is optional if your trial license was expired. However, if it is still valid, you need to remove it. Because in some cases, after you activate your Office using KMS license, important features are resumed but the expiration notification still remains. Please follow instructions in this post to uninstall the trial license.
Make sure your computer is ready
You need to check your internet connection again and make sure that the Windows Update service is turned on. KMS license has to be verified by making a connection to my KMS server before it can be used. So you need to check if the KMS server is blocked or not. This is pretty simple. Just open your internet browser and try visitting this site: http://kms8.msguides.com. If it is visible, this means my KMS server is not blocked.
Activating your Office 365 using KMS client key
1. Manual method
Time needed: 1 minute.
Manually activate your Office 365 using KMS client key.
- Open command prompt as admin.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.
- Navigate to your Office folder.If 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.
cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16 cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16
- Convert your Office license to volume one if possible.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.
for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\proplusvl_kms*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x"
- Use KMS client key to activate your OfficeMake sure your PC is connected to the internet, then run the following command.
cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:XQNVK-8JYDB-WJ9W3-YJ8YR-WFG99 cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:BTDRB >nul cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:KHGM9 >nul cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:CPQVG >nul cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:kms8.msguides.com cscript ospp.vbs /setprt:1688 cscript ospp.vbs /act
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.

- I only test this method with Office 365 ProPlus version. I am not sure it will work with the others.
- Step 3 is flagged “important” because the UAC system will stop this process if you don’t do it.
2. Using batch script
This method is not recommend anymore due to the new update of Microsoft.
Step 1: Copy the code below into a new text document.
@echo off

Step 2: Save it as a batch file. (eg. office365.cmd).
Step 3: Run the batch file with admin rights. (important!).
Done! Your Office is activated successfully.
