Many users are interested in the question of how to properly activate Office 2016 on Windows 10. There are several versions of activation, and each of them has its own characteristics.
Key activation
The whole process of activating the office of 2016 consists of the following stages:
- You must put a licensed disc with the version of Office on it in the drive. Or, if the discs have already become the "last century", you can buy the version on the official Microsoft website. There you can find not only the product of 2016, but also newer versions.
- Run the installation file.
- Click on the installation and follow the steps that the installation program will tell you.
- At the moment when the installation of Office 2016 asks for a license key, you must enter it in a special field.
As noted above, the user can obtain the key in several ways. If we are talking about a CD, then the key can be found in the box, and if the product was bought on the Internet, the key will be sent to the user by e-mail. It may well be that the key will be in the "Spam" folder.
Free activation
In general, there are a couple of methods for activating Office 2010, but none of them is legal. Before proceeding to these methods, it is worth noting that the office of 2016 can be used for a whole month in demo mode. But this is so, by the way.
The first method is to search for the key for the office of 2016 on the Internet. By the way, the method is not the easiest one, since the keys quickly become invalid due to the fact that there are a lot of lookup keys. There are now a large number of key distribution sites and groups. All you need to do is find a valid key.
The second method is to use a dedicated activator application. It should be noted that there are several different versions of the office, and each original version may require its own separate activator. However, today the most popular and most effective activator is called KMS Auto. There are no problems from it for the computer, and the installation of keys does not take very long. Also the advantage of this activator is that it works well with almost all versions of Office.
In order to use the activator, you must perform the following steps:
- Disable a running antivirus program (it will most likely see a virus in the activator).
- Download KMS Auto from the site of the same name.
- After launch, select the same product that you want to activate.
- Click on the "Activate" button.
By the way, there are other activators that can make Office activated, but at the same time there will be a very high risk of filling the computer and the operating system with viruses. Therefore, it is better to use a proven activator.
