Troubleshooting Microsoft Office 2016 Activation Issues

Activating Microsoft Office 2016 can sometimes be a challenging task, especially when you encounter errors during the process. In this article, we will discuss some common issues that may arise during activation and provide solutions to resolve them.

Error 0xC004F074: 'The Key Management Service (KMS) is unavailable'

One of the most common errors encountered during Microsoft Office 2016 activation is error 0xC004F074. This error typically occurs when the time or time zone is incorrectly set on your computer. To resolve this issue, ensure that your system clock is set correctly and adjust the time zone if necessary.

Error 0xC004F035 and 0xC004F059

Another common issue that may prevent Microsoft Office 2016 activation is error code 0xC004F035 or 0xC004F059. These errors often occur on computers that were originally acquired with an OEM operating system, where the KMS activation is blocked by the computer's BIOS. In this case, you may need to check your BIOS settings and ensure that it allows KMS activation.

Manual KMS Activation

To perform manual KMS activation, you will need to run the Command-Line Interface (cmd.exe) as an administrator. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the command prompt icon in the Start menu and select 'Run as administrator.'

2. Enter the following command: `slui 3`

3. Follow the prompts to complete the activation process.

Activating with a MAK Key

If you need to activate Microsoft Office 2016 using a MAK (Multiple Activation Key), you can do so by using the Office Customization Tool (OCT). Here's how:

1. Open the OCT and navigate to the Licensing and user interface page.

2. Select the MAK key from the drop-down menu.

3. Follow the prompts to complete the activation process.
