Normally, after you install MS Office 2013/2016/2019, it will automatically activate the license via our KMS license server. If you found that the MS Office cannot activate automatically, please follow the steps below to activate your Office manually.

Procedures:

  • Connect to the campus network. If you are outside the campus network, please connect with VPN first.
  • Then run the following commands at command prompt. (You need to have administrator permission. To do so, right click the common prompt and choose Run As Administrator.)
