KMS Activation Command Reference

1. Windows Activation (VL editions)

For organizations with a Volume License agreement: install the GVLK for your edition, then point the client to your organization's internal KMS server. Replace <your-kms-server> with the hostname or IP of your organization's KMS server (obtainable from your IT department or Microsoft Volume Licensing portal).

slmgr /skms <your-kms-server>
slmgr /ato

If the GVLK is not yet installed, install it first:

To identify your Windows edition, run:

wmic os get caption

Find the matching GVLK for your edition in the table below, then install it with admin privileges:

slmgr /ipk W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX
slmgr /skms <your-kms-server>
slmgr /ato

2. Office Activation (VOL editions)

Only the Volume License (VOL) edition of Office supports KMS activation. VOL editions are distributed through Microsoft's Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) to customers with a valid agreement.

Take Office 2016 as an example: Go to the Office installation directory using CMD or PowerShell as admin:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16"
cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16"

Run the following commands (internet access required):

cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:<your-kms-server>
cscript ospp.vbs /act
