Office Activation Command by Omman

Office 2021

Method 1: Using my command line

Step 1.1: Open cmd program with administrator rights.

  • First, you need to open cmd in the admin mode, then run all commands below one by one.

Step 1.2: Get into the Office directory in cmd.

  • For x86 and x64
cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16
cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16
  • If you install your Office in the ProgramFiles folder, the Office directory depends on the architecture of your OS. If you are not sure of this issue, just run both of the commands above. One of them will be not executed and an error message will be printed on the screen.

Step 1.3: Install Office 2021 volume license.

for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\ProPlus2021VL_KMS*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x"
  • This step is required. You can not install the KMS client product key of Office without a volume license.

Step 1.4: Activate your Office using the KMS key.

  • Make sure your device is connected to the internet, then run the following commands.
cscript ospp.vbs /setprt:1688
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:6F7TH >nul
cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:FXYTK-NJJ8C-GB6DW-3DYQT-6F7TH
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:e8.us.to
cscript ospp.vbs /act
  • 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 all the text you will get in the command prompt window

C:\Windows\system32>cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16
The system cannot find the path specified.

Step 2.2: Save this text file as a cmd file. (Eg. office.cmd).

Step 2.3: Run the cmd file in admin mode.

Step 2.4: Check the activation status again.

Done! Your product is activated successfully now.

More information:

  • Here is the KMS client key of Office 2021: FXYTK-NJJ8C-GB6DW-3DYQT-6F7TH.

  • The Office 2021 KMS license is valid for 180 days only but it can be renewed automatically so you needn’t worry so much about the period.

  • 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!

if the product expires, can i go again with this??

Yes. you just need a new KMS server to validate your licence. The licence is valid for 180 days.

For that, should we need different cmd lines?
When you say different KMS server, how do we identify or differentiate that we are running on a different KMS server.?

Much appreciate your answer on this!!

Ignore this message @sa04sa - Just use the command for install & renewal Remember It's works for 180 Days Only After 180 Days you must use same command reverse.
