How to activate Office 2010/2013 for FREE using KMS license key - MS Guides https://msguides.com/office-2010-2013
As you know, I am working on a project that supports people to activate their Microsoft software products using KMS
license key. Many of you guys might be wondering why I only write guideline about the latest version of Office 2016 or
Office 365. Is it possible to activate the older versions for FREE? The answer is YES, this is very possible but there is a
problem need to discuss with you in greater detail below.

Difference between Retail and Volume version
2 methods to activate your Office using KMS client setup key
1. The first method: Without using any additional library
2. The second method: Using an additional library extracted from installation folder of Office Volume
Difference between Retail and Volume version

If you are using Office retail, you can not use KMS method because it only supports volume version. However, in fact, it’s so
much easier to use KMS license now because users could convert retail version to volume using a license files library
bundled with setup file since Office 2016. But it is unfortunate that this library is not available in earlier versions (including
Office 2013/2010).

First, you need to open command prompt with admin rights, then follow the instruction below step by step. Just
copy/paste the commands and do not forget to hit Enter in order to execute them.
Step 1.1: Detect location of the Office installed on your PC.

The path depends on the architecture of the Windows OS you are using. If you are not sure what it is, don’t worry, just run
all commands below.
if exist "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs" set folder="%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office15"

if exist "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs" set folder="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office15"
if exist "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" set folder="%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office14"
if exist "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" set folder="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office14"
Open Office folder

Step 1.2: Activate your Office using KMS client key.

Make sure your PC is connected to the internet, then run the following command.
cscript %folder%\ospp.vbs /inpkey:VYBBJ-TRJPB-QFQRF-QFT4D-H3GVB

cscript %folder%\ospp.vbs /inpkey:YC7DK-G2NP3-2QQC3-J6H88-GVGXT
cscript %folder%\ospp.vbs /sethst:kms8.msguides.com
cscript %folder%\ospp.vbs /setprt:1688
cscript %folder%\ospp.vbs /act
If you see the error 0xC004F074, it means that 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.

Product activation successful
2. The second method: Using an additional library extracted from installation folder of
Office Volume
Supported products: All Office 2013/2010 editions.
Step 2.1: Download the license files library then extract it. Move the library folder to the C drive.
Office additional library
Step 2.2: Follow first step of the method 1 above.
7 of 33 9/2/2023, 11:27 PM
Step 2.3: Convert your retail license to volume one.
Install Office voulme licenses
X cd /d c:\library
for /f %x in ('dir /b *') do cscript %folder%\ospp.vbs /inslic:%x
Step 2.4: Follow the second step of method 1 above.
8 of 33 9/2/2023, 11:27 PM
Finally, check activation status again.
Office is activated successfully
More information:
Here is the virustotal result of the library: Office 2010 lib | Office 2013 lib
9 of 33 9/2/2023, 11:27 PM
Using the library makes many of you guys feel uncomfortable, I know. This is the reason why I did not want to write
about Office 2010 and 2013. If you do not like using the additional library, please use Office 2010/2013 volume or
upgrade to a newer version.
If you would have any questions or concerns, please leave your comments. I would be glad to explain in more details.
Thank you so much for all your feedback and support!

I have been trying to move my copy of Office 2010 from my old computer for some time now without any success, even
talking to MS who just try to upsell you to Office 365. Method 2 here worked for me, as someone mentioned below I just
had to press again to get the last command to run. Thank you very much!

Similar problem here

I inserted my legally bought key when I tried to activate Office, after a fresh install.
That didn’t work (MS does not validate this key anymore), so I tried the script (1.1 and 1.2)

enter the command like this================
cscript %folder%\ospp.vbs /inpkey:VYBBJ-TRJPB-QFQRF-QFT4D-H3GVB
cscript %folder%\ospp.vbs /inpkey:YC7DK-G2NP3-2QQC3-J6H88-GVGXT
cscript %folder%\ospp.vbs /sethst:kms8.msguides.com
cscript %folder%\ospp.vbs /setprt:1688
cscript %folder%\ospp.vbs /act
the last line would not execute itself so just press enter .
