- Step 1: Remove your current trial licenseThis 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 to uninstall the trial license.Steps to remove your Office licenseStep 1: Open command prompt as administrator
- Step 2: Copy/run this command to determine what is the license key you want to remove.cscript “%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs” /dstatusIf you see an error, try this command.cscript “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs” /dstatusNote: “Office16” is codename of Office 2016. If you are using Office 2010/2013, replace “Office16” with “Office14” or “Office15”.Step 3: Copy and run these commands to remove the license. Note: replace “VMFTK” with the last 5 characters of your product key.cscript “%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs” /unpkey:VMFTKIf you see an error, try this command.cscript “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs” /unpkey:VMFTKDone!
- Step 2: Make sure your computer is readyYou 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: http://kms8.msguides.com 7. If it is visible, this means my KMS server is not blocked.
