Legal way to use Office 365 totally FREE, without paying a dime

Posted by  Aadithyan rajesh in techmac | Last updated on August 18, 2018

In a previous post here, I have showed you guys how to download and install Office 365 Multilanguage using online installer downloaded directly from the Microsoft homepage. By default, the new installation includes a 30-days free trial license. Afer this period, most important features will be disabled. It means your work will be discontinued unless you pay for Office 365 subscription. If you are in financial difficulties, this is so bad, I know. To help you overcome this problem, I recommend using KMS licene key to activate your Office. For those of you guys who don’t already know, KMS license is almost similar to the trial one. It is totally free, legal and is valid for 180 days only. But don’t worry about the period because it can be renewed easily.

Ok! The introduction is over. Now let’s get started!

Remove your current trial license

This step is optional if your trial license was expired. However, if it is still valid, you need to remove it. Because in some cases, after you activate your Office using KMS license, important features are resumed but the expiration notification still remains. Please follow instructions in this post to uninstall the trial license.

Make sure your computer is ready

You need to check your internet connection again and make sure that the Windows Update service is turned on. KMS license has to be verified by making a connection to my KMS server before it can be used. So you need to check if the KMS server is blocked or not. This is pretty simple. Just open your internet browser and try visitting this site: hhttp://techmac8.blogspot.com/. If it is visible, this means the server is not blocked.

Activating your Office 365 using KMS client key

Step 1: Copy the code below into new text document.

Step 2: Save it as a batch file. (eg. office365.cmd)

Step 3: Run the batch file with admin rights. (important!)

Done! Your Office is activated successfully.

Note:

– I only test this method with Office 365 ProPlus version. I am not sure it will work with the others.

– Step 3 is flagged “important” because the UAC system will stop this process if you don’t do it.

How to renew your Office 365 license

By default, your license will be renewed automaticaly every seven days but in some cases, it can be stuck. So you need to renew the license manually.

Step 1: Open command prompt as administrator.

Step 2: Copy and run this command.

1	cscript "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs" /act

If you see an error, try this command.

1	cscript "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs" /act

Done! Your license is renewed successfully.
