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.

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!

Methode working very well but i still recommend to buy an activation key, cheaper, safer and easier .

I got one in this website https://rb.gy/pug44h they were so supportive and their client service was amazing.

I followed all the steps but why is it saying this? Or am i just missing something?

idk what about a safety but it works

I have created the account just to leave a comment that this actually works <3

I bought genuine Microsoft Office 2021 pro lifetime license key in very reasonable. You can also see here

Thanks. I Take a Office 2021 pro from the website with big discount. instantly delivered and worked without any problem .There key is global, I activate from USA I trust the website because I noticed the company registered the UK. you can also see here

Thanks, I was looking for Office 2024 professional. And i got office 2024 pro global key from that website very low price and worked.

wow it works

Great, it works bro..

hi
how can i deal with this

The first method worked for me and even though the error did occur it didnt stop the activation. Thanks man :)

Millions of thanks for your guidance and great help. It really works!

All that came from msguides.com . You can get kms activation for windows , office , windows server , project , visio , office 365 , all versions . They even give you the cmd command lines to do it your self. Just remember to go into windows fire wall and allow app through , changing settings for KMS if you dont it wont let it work . i have had it actually remove my KMS files before i learned that.

Both method gave an error. Please assist.
1st method gave an error code while running the last command. I restarted the system thinking it will resolve the issue but didnt work. Please see the output below:

Thank you very much

Look at that CMD command lines. You will see the main command is SLMGR/ this is your door way into windows back door. Then the path to what you want to do, IPK install product key. ATO activate windows. If you want the command list just type from the cmd line slmgr/ Then enter it will show you the command list and its long. Now things change a little when you Type slmgr.vbs /dlv all and press Enter. This will display detailed information about the current Windows activation, including the product key and license. Type slmgr.vbs /upk and press Enter. This will remove the current product key. Type slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx and press Enter, replacing the xxxxx placeholders with your new product key, .Type slmgr.vbs /ato and press Enter. This will attempt to activate Windows using the newly installed product key ,Type slmgr.vbs /cpky and press Enter. This will remove the product key from the system registry. Always look at you command lines so you now whats going on dont just compile lines into .cmd .and run then. ( note. command lines in note pad are saved as ANSI ???.CMD)

The connection to my KMS server failed! Trying to connect to another one...
Please wait... This is because your windows fire wall wont let it go thru . Change fire wall settings to let or ok KMS to work.

How brilliant,
Much appreciated!

I recently purchased a Microsoft 365 license key from MSKeyDeals, and the experience was smooth and reliable. The activation process was quick, and the key worked without any issues. Definitely a great option if you're looking for genuine software at a reasonable price. Hope this helps anyone considering it!
