Activating Microsoft Office on Windows

If you have issues activating Office on Windows machines try the below in an elevated admin command prompt.

  1.   Type C: and press enter key

  2.   Type CD \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16 and press enter key

  3.   Type cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:kms.softwarecentral.ucla.edu and press enter key

  4.   Type cscript ospp.vbs /act

    **If working remotely, please make sure to connect to the campus or CDH VPN

    Microsoft Office typically activates on its own but in the case that it does not, run the script locally to get the programs to see the activation server.
