Your Office was activated successfully so you need not do anything.

I use the one for 2016 a few days ago when I installed it on my desktop. Tried to install 2016 on my portable and gave me an error that it couldn't find the servers. So I installed 2019 and gave it a try and have the same issue with the script, it couldn't find the server either. See the attached screenshot of the 2019 script.

GuangP after waiting a few mins and closing the app, i checked it and it is activated now...

but when i try to check it using this
cscript "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs" /dstatus
still shows up an error

should i still do this steps?

GuangP Please do the following steps:
Step 1. Run command prompt as administrator.
Step 2. Copy and run the command:
cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16&cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:KHGM9&cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:2GWQH
If you see error, try this command:
cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16&cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:KHGM9&cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:2GWQH

Then check activation status again.

None of these alleged resolutions work either. They've been tried by others and each comes up with various issues.

Hi, I have a laptop with Office preinstalled in my C drive in this route C:\Archivos de programa\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Office.Desktop.Word_16040.10827.20181.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe\Office16
My Windows is in Spanish and I tried running the command as you mentioned in post #1 and also tried copying the text file and replacing "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16" with my route but nothing happens because the file ospp.vbs doesn´t exist. I would be grateful if you could help me please.

GuangP

barriestra If you can not detect the path of your Office, I think you should reinstall it.
