Download and use Office 2016 for FREE without a product key

Posted by in Microsoft Software Products | Last updated on Sticky

Office 2016 is the latest version of the Microsoft Office productivity suite, succeeding Office 2013. New features of Office 16 include the ability to manage and work with files in Microsoft OneDrive from the lock screen, a powerful search tool for support and commands called “Tell me” and co-authoring mode with users connected to Office Online.

Download original Office 2016 ISO

You can get the latest version of Microsoft Office 2016 here if you don’t have it. Once your download is complete, you need to extract the original ISO image from the zip file. You will be left with a file named “SW_DVD5_Office_Professional_Plus_2016_W32_English…” (W32 here in the filename refers to the 32-bit version, if you download the 64-bit version, the filename will contain 64Bit instead). Although an ISO file is used to burn CD or DVD, you can install Office 2016 without burning it using 7-zip or similar archive software utility. Here is what you get after extracting the ISO file.

      do the steps again and when you the cmd or ‘1click’ on your desktop do not click right away. instead,right click and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR that should do the trick

    Yeah! It worked for me! The KMS Server was failing and so I ran it as ADMINISTRATOR.

    I was wonderful. Thank you! You just saved me from several trial to activate!

    I tried many times running the 1Click.cmd and other commands that I got from the comments, and it didn’t work.
    But I copied the very last version of the code from the GitHub link, and it worked well. In fact, note that at the end of the scripts says:

    First of all, sorry for my English, I know it’s bad. On the second hand, thank you for your help.
    I installed the Office version that I downloaded from your own links, and I checked the SHA-1 hash of ISO file by following the steps you indicate in your post. However, when trying to activate Office as described below it apears 3 times the following message: “The connection to my KMS server failed! Trying to connect to another one…
    Please wait…” Then, finally it apears this other one: “Sorry! Your version is not supported.
    Please try installing the latest version here: bit.ly/getmsps”.

    How can it be? This is a link to the same page and tutorial where I downloaded my version from. I can’t understand.

    If there is a solution to this case, I would apreciate your help. Thank you very much anyway.

    Step 1. Run command prompt as administrator.
    Step 2. Copy and run the command:

    cd %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16&cscript //nologo ospp.vbs /sethst:kms8.msguides.com >nul&cscript //nologo ospp.vbs /act
    If you see error, try this command:

    cd %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16&cscript //nologo ospp.vbs /sethst:kms8.msguides.com >nul&cscript //nologo ospp.vbs /act
    Then check activation status again.
