Step by step How to Install and activate Office 2019 for FREE | legally using Volume license

Installing Office 2019 without a product key

How to download and Install Office 2019 from Microsoft homepage?

If you have an Office 365 subscription, your Office will be upgraded to the latest version automatically without doing anything. However, if you are using Office 2016 or earlier versions, to make sure that Office 2019 will work normally, please uninstall your old version of Office completely before starting a new installation.

After the download process is complete, you will get an image file. Just open it then run the setup file to install Office 2019 on your PC.

Activating Office 2019 using KMS license key

Method 1: Running commands one by one manually

Time needed: 1 minute.

Manually activate your Office with legal KMS product key.

Open command prompt in administrator mode.
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.
Open location of the Office installed on your PC
cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16
cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16
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.
Convert your retail license to volume one
for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\ProPlus2019VL*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x"

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.
Activate your Office using KMS client key
Make sure your PC is connected to the internet, then run the following command.
cscript ospp.vbs /setprt:1688
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:6MWKP >nul
cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:NMMKJ-6RK4F-KMJVX-8D9MJ-6MWKP
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:kms8.msguides.com
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.

Windows Download and Installation Instructions for Office 2019

Beginning with Office 2019, all Office products for Windows that are available through Volume Licensing use Click-to-Run technology instead of the traditional Windows Installer technology. To deploy volume licensed versions of Office 2019 products for users in your organization, you'll use the Office Deployment Tool (ODT).
You'll need a broadband Internet connection with download speeds of at least 20 Mbps to download Office 2019 products. Note that Office 2019 products require Windows 10 and will not run on older versions of Windows.

Step One: Register at the VLSC and Accept Your Software Agreement

If you haven't already, register at the VLSC and accept your software license agreement for the Office 2019 products you requested by completing only steps one and two in our VLSC quick-start guide.

Step Two: Get Your Office 2019 Product Key from the VLSC

  1. Sign in to the VLSC.
  2. Select the Downloads and Keys tab.
  3. Find your Office 2019 product in the list and click its Key link.
  4. In the table beneath the name of the product, find your product key in the column labeled Key. The Type column for this key should say MAK, not KMS.
    • Office suites have separate setup keys for online functionality like web apps. These keys are not the same as the MAK product keys and cannot be used for volume activation of desktop products.
      VLSC interface with Key column highlighted.
  5. Copy the product's individual key from this table and paste it into a program like Notepad or click Export all keys: CSV just above the list of products to download a list of keys in comma-separated-values format (which can be opened with Excel). This list contains all Volume License keys associated with agreements in your VLSC profile.

Step Three: Download the Office Deployment Tool (ODT)

  1. Download the Office Deployment Tool from Microsoft.
  2. When the download is finished, open it, check the box to accept the Microsoft license terms, and click Continue.
  3. You will be asked to choose a folder to store the extracted setup files. Navigate to the root level of your computer's hard drive (C:) and click Make New Folder. Then, name the folder "OfficeSetup" and continue with the extraction process. Note that these instructions won't work if you choose a different folder name or location.
    Office Deployment Tool interface with new folder created
  4. When you are finished, your new "OfficeSetup" folder should have a file named "setup" and some sample "configuration" files. Delete the configuration files. You only need to keep the setup file.

Step Four: Download and Prepare the Configuration File

Download the configuration file that you need from the table below by right-clicking the link for the file you need, selecting Save link as…, and saving the file to the "OfficeSetup" folder you created. Don't download more than one of these files to that folder at a time. If you need to install more than one type of Office product, you'll have the opportunity to do so later.
Next, follow the instructions below to add the product key that you obtained from the VLSC in step two to the configuration file.
  1. Right-click the configuration file and select Edit to open the file in Notepad.
  2. Look for the following string of text in the configuration file:
    • PIDKEY="#####-#####-#####-#####-#####"
      configuration file open in Notepad with PIDKEY highlighted
  3. In this string, replace #####-#####-#####-#####-##### with your MAK client activation key by copying and pasting the key from wherever you saved it. You should leave the quotation marks before and after the key.
  4. Save the file and close it.
  5. Then, right-click the configuration file, select Rename, and change the filename to be "configuration".
    • If the configuration file you downloaded has a name that ends with ".xml", that means your installation of Windows has been set to display file extensions. If this is the case, make sure to keep ".xml" in your filename by renaming it as "configuration.xml" instead of "configuration".
If you need additional customization for your deployment and have IT experience, you can use Microsoft's Office Customization Tool to create your own configuration files.

Step Five: Download and Install Your Product

Note that all earlier versions of Office will be uninstalled when you install Office 2019 products, so be sure to save and quit any Office applications that are running.
  1. Navigate to your "OfficeSetup" folder in File Explorer.
  2. You'll need to perform the next steps using the Command Prompt, which is a text-based command-line interface that runs within Windows.
    To open the Command Prompt
    1. Click the address bar in the File Explorer window that you opened.
      File Explorer window with address bar highlighted
    2. With the address bar selected, type cmd and press Enter.
      File Explorer window with text entered in address bar
  3. Type the following into the Command Prompt that you opened.
    • setup /download configuration.xml
      Command prompt window with text entered
    It will look as if nothing is happening, but your product will be downloading in the background. The download will be a large file and might take a while to finish. Once the download is complete, you will be returned to the Command Prompt.
  4. When the download has finished, you're ready to install the product. Type the following into the Command Prompt.
    • setup /configure configuration.xml
    If you see an error that says you still have previous versions of Office installed on your computer, you'll need to manually uninstall those programs and type the above command again.
  5. When your installation is complete, you'll be returned to the Command Prompt. Close the Command Prompt and return to the desktop. Your Office 2019 product will be installed and ready to use.
  6. If you need to install a different Office product, delete the "configuration.xml" file from the "OfficeSetup" folder and follow these instructions again beginning at Step Four: Download and Prepare the Configuration File.
