Microsoft Office 2016: Manually Activate Against the KMS / Enterprise Server Favorite Article Print Article There may be broken links in this article, the GROK staff has been notified and is working to resolve the issue.

This page describes how to manually activate products. With this method, you'll need to run commands on each machine - and for each software package - during the 30 day grace period after installation. If you are using virtual machines for testing and cross-compatibility on Macintosh computers, you'll need to use the manual method in those circumstances.

KMS activation can be blocked by a firewall. Please be sure that any firewalls between the client machine and the KMS server are open to incoming and outgoing traffic on TCP port 1688.

To use this method, first install the software (Windows or Microsoft Office). As part of that process you'll be informed that you have 30 days to activate the product. Complete the steps below during that 30-day period.

This method assumes that Windows or Office has never been activated on this machine before. If your machine had previously been activated with the earlier MAK activation method, please instead follow the instructions to switch from MAK to KMS activation.

Activate a Windows Operating System (All Supported Versions)

Open an Elevated Command Prompt window. For instructions, please see our guide How To Open an Elevated Command Prompt.
In the elevated Command Prompt window, verify that the current directory is C:WindowsSystem32. If it is not, type
CD WindowsSystem32
and press .
Type the following command:
cscript slmgr.vbs /skms kms01.cit.cornell.edu
and press .
(Note: The url in the command above begins with kay-emm-ess-zero-one.)
Type the following command:
cscript slmgr.vbs /ato
and press .
Close the Command Prompt window.

And you're done for that installation of Windows on that computer.

Activate Desktop Edition of Microsoft Office 2016

These instructions only apply to the Desktop (Volume-Licensed) Edition of Microsoft Office, which is distributed as a disk image via CU Software Licensing. The Office 365 edition of Office (downloaded from Microsoft) does not use KMS activation. Please DO NOT attempt to follow these instructions if you have the Office 365 edition.

Open an Elevated Command Prompt window. For instructions, please see our guide How To Open an Elevated Command Prompt.
Type
CD Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice16
then press .
This assumes you installed Office in the default location.
Note: If you installed the 32-bit version of Office on a 64-bit system, use this command instead:
CD Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice16
Type
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:kms01.cit.cornell.edu
then press . (Note: The url in the command above begins with kay-emm-ess-zero-one.)
Type
cscript ospp.vbs /act
then press .
Close the command prompt window.

And you're done for that installation of Office on that computer.

Applies to:Volume licensed versions of Office 2019 and Office 2016, including Project and Visio

There is a 25-day grace period from the time of installation of Key Management Service (KMS) clients before notifications to activate are displayed to the user. The 25-day grace period gives ample time for a KMS host computer to be found and activation to succeed. If activation is successful, users don't see notifications to activate.

If you want to deploy a volume licensed version of Office, or Project or Visio, as part of an operating system image, you must rearm your Office installation before you capture the image. If you do not rearm, users might see notification dialog boxes at the time that the image is deployed, instead of 25 days after deployment.

Rearming does the following important tasks:

Kms Activator For Office 2016

Resets the grace timer to 30 days.
Freezes the grace timer until either an Office application is run, or the ospp.vbs script is run.
Resets the client computer ID (CMID). This is important because the KMS host computer uses the CMID to determine the number of unique clients. You can use the ospp.vbs script to check the CMID.

For more information about the ospp.vbs script, see Tools to manage volume activation of Office.

You can rearm five times, unless you activate Office by using a KMS host computer. If you run out of rearms, activating by using a KMS host computer lets you rearm once.

Note

Rearming is also recommended if you're activating a volume licensed version of Office, including Project and Visio, by using Multiple Activation Key (MAK). If you're activating by using MAK and you don't remotely activate for end-users by using the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) or ospp.vbs, users see an activation dialog box the first time that an Office application starts. The activation dialog box is slightly different 25 days after installation. Also, users might immediately see a red title bar warning them of activation issues if Office wasn't rearmed before the image was captured.

Use the ospprearm command to rearm an Office installation

Kms Activar Office 2016 Grace Life

Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Administrators group on the KMS host computer.
Close all Office applications.
Open an elevated command prompt and go to the Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice16 folder. If you installed the 32-bit version of Office on a 64-bit operating system, go to the Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice16 folder.
Type ospprearm.exe and then press Enter. If the rearm succeeds, the following message displays: 'Microsoft Office rearm successful.'
Capture the image.
Important
Do not open an Office application or run ospp.vbs, or do anything else related to Office while the image is being captured. Otherwise, the grace timer starts.
