If you have a volume licensed version of Microsoft Office 2016, such as Project or Visio, you may need to activate it with a Key Management Service (KMS) host. A KMS host is a server that provides activation services to other computers on your network. To activate your Office 2016 with a KMS host, you need to have a specific product key called a Generic Volume License Key (GVLK) or a KMS client key.
A GVLK is a special type of product key that supports both KMS and Active Directory-based activation. It is preinstalled on all volume licensed versions of Office 2016 by default. However, there are some scenarios where you may need to manually install or change the GVLK on your computer, such as:
In this article, we will show you how to find and install the GVLK keys for Microsoft Office 2016 keygen and how to activate your Office 2016 with a KMS host.
The GVLK keys for Microsoft Office 2016 keygen are publicly available and can be found on various websites and online resources. One of the best and most trusted sources for these keys is GitHub, where you can find a repository that contains the GVLK keys for all versions and products of Microsoft Office, including Office 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, and LTSC 2021.
To access the GitHub repository, go to https://github.com/alvolalex/ms_office_gvlk and scroll down to see the list of GVLK keys for each version and product of Office. You can also download the repository as a ZIP file by clicking on the Code button and selecting Download ZIP.
Once you have the GVLK keys for Microsoft Office 2016 keygen, you can install them on your computer by using the slmgr.vbs script or the ospp.vbs script. We will explain how to use these scripts in the next section.
To install the GVLK keys for Microsoft Office 2016 keygen on your computer, you need to open an elevated command prompt and run one of the following scripts:
The syntax for installing a GVLK key with either script is:
script /ipk <product key>
For example, to install the GVLK key for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 with the slmgr.vbs script, run the following command:
slmgr /ipk D8NRQ-JTYM3-7J2DX-646CT-6836M
To install the same key with the ospp.vbs script, run the following command:
cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:D8NRQ-JTYM3-7J2DX-646CT-6836M
You should see a message that says "Installed product key successfully" after running either command.
After installing the GVLK key for Microsoft Office 2016 keygen on your computer, you can activate your Office 2016 with a KMS host on your network. By default, your computer will try to locate a KMS host by querying DNS for service (SRV) resource records that publish the KMS service. However, if your network environment does not use SRV records or if you want to use a specific KMS host instead of the one discovered by DNS, you can manually assign a KMS host to your computer by using one of the following methods:
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:<host name>
Once you have assigned a KMS host to your computer, you can activate your Office 2016 by running one of the following commands:
slmgr /ato
You should see a message that says "Product activated successfully" after running either command.
