How to Activate Microsoft Office with KMSpico (2010–2021 & 365)
KMSpico activates volume editions of Microsoft Office just as easily as it activates Windows. Here is how to do it — and how to check it worked.
Office and KMS
Volume editions of Office (2010 through 2021, and volume-licensed Microsoft 365 / Office 365 ProPlus) support KMS activation. KMSpico detects installed Office products automatically and activates them alongside Windows in the same pass.
Retail “click-to-run” consumer copies of Office may use a different licensing path. KMS targets the volume-license builds.
Activate Office with KMSpico
Install Office first
Make sure Office is installed and has been opened at least once before activating.
Run KMSpico
Download and unzip (download page, password
getkmspico.com), install, then open KMSpico.Press the red button
KMSpico activates Windows and any detected Office installation together. Wait for the confirmation.
Reopen an Office app
Open Word or Excel and check File → Account; it should read “Product Activated.”
Manual method with ospp.vbs
To activate Office by hand against your own KMS host, open Command Prompt as administrator and switch to the Office folder (path varies by version/architecture):
cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16"cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:your-kms-hostcscript ospp.vbs /act
Then confirm with cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus.
Verify Office activation
Two ways to confirm:
- In any Office app: File → Account → Product Information.
- Command line:
cscript ospp.vbs /dstatusshows the licence status and remaining days.
