How to Activate MS Office 2021, 2019, and 2016 Using a KMS Host Server

When it comes to activating Microsoft Office, there are two types of activation methods: ADBA activation or KMS host activation. In this article, we will focus on the latter, using a KMS host server to activate MS Office 2021, 2019, and 2016 under volume license.

To start, you need to download the latest Office Volume License Pack from the Microsoft Download Center using the following links:

* Microsoft Office 2013 Volume License Pack

* Microsoft Office 2016 Volume License Pack

* Microsoft Office 2019 Volume License Pack

* Microsoft Office LTSC 2021 Volume License Pack

Once downloaded, you need to run the installer as an administrator on your KMS server. This will launch the Volume Activation Tool windows and update the activation files.

The license files allow your KMS host service to recognize KMS Host keys for Office, Project, and Visio. The installer contains new KMS host license files that you need to download and install on your KMS server.

Make sure the computer that is going to be used as a KMS server meets the requirements on supported Operating System versions. For example, you can't activate Office 2013 on a KMS server with only the KMS Host key for Office 2019 installed.

To activate the Volume License Office version (Project or Visio), you must have a configured KMS host. This MS Office version is subscription-based and can be activated online only.

This guide applies only to Microsoft Office 2021/2019/2016 under volume license, excluding Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise (ex-Office 365 ProPlus).

To activate Office 2021 LTSC Volume License version, you can add support for the new version of Office to your KMS activation host. Enterprise customers can begin deploying the new Office 2021 LTSC on their computers side by side with previous versions of Office.

The LTSC version is also for organizations with computers that don't want to receive feature upgrades or connect to the Internet. The LTSC version of Office 2021 is for customers who don't want to get the Microsoft 365 subscription-based version of Office.

In October 2021, Microsoft released the new non-subscription version of Office LTSC 2021 (along with Windows 11).

A corporate KMS server makes it easy to activate volume editions of Microsoft products (such as Windows and Office) in an internal or isolated enterprise network without the need to provide direct access to Microsoft's Internet activation servers for clients, and without using phone activation.

In conclusion, activating MS Office 2021, 2019, and 2016 using a KMS host server is a straightforward process. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure that your organization's computers are properly activated and ready for use.
