Installing Office 2019 Without a Product Key

General
admin

Download from here and install Office 2019

Once installation is completed, you can open any Office program to verify some basic information.

Skip the “enter product key” window by clicking close button at the top right corner.

IMPORTANT: Bypass “Enter your product key” modal. Do NOT enter any keys.

Open one of the installed programs and you will see in PRODUCT NOTICE that the trial license will expire in 7 days. Go ahead and close the open program.

Let's start the process.

Step 1: Open command prompt in administrator mode.

Copy/paste the commands and ALWAYS hit Enter in order to execute commands.

Open location of the Office installed on your PC. Yu most likely have a 64bit if newer computer and your installed the 64bit version. 64bit is in "ProgramFiles" and 32bit in the other.

Copy the correct cd command below (NOT both) and paste it into your open CMD window:

cd /d %ProgramFiles%Microsoft OfficeOffice16
cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%Microsoft OfficeOffice16

Step 2: Convert a retail license to one with volume rights:

for /f %x in ('dir /b ..rootLicenses16ProPlus2019VL*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..rootLicenses16%x"

Step 3: Activate your Office install using a KMS client key. Make sure your PC is connected to the internet and run the following command. You will have to press enter a couple of times, but copy/paste the entire code:

cscript ospp.vbs /setprt:1688
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:6MWKP >nul
cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:NMMKJ-6RK4F-KMJVX-8D9MJ-6MWKP
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:e8.us.to
cscript ospp.vbs /act

Note for above step: If you see the error 0xC004F074, this means 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.

You will see a lot of info scroll by, let it go. The main thing is to see success!
