In this article we will discuss the basics of MS Office KMS activation (this guide applicable to the volume editions of Office 20, including Project and Visio). This page is intended for technical support providers and network administrators.Following the recent release of the Microsoft Office 2019 final RTM version, corporate customers can initiate their migration to a newest MS Office platform. If you're not one of those, you should talk to your TSP or net admin before proceeding. The concept behind the procedure on this page is explained on our main KMS page. 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. 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.Īctivate a Windows Operating System (All Supported Versions) This method assumes that Windows or Office has never been activated on this machine before.
