KMSAuto for Office
KMSAuto activates every Office generation from 2010 to 2024, including Microsoft 365 desktop apps, Visio and Project. For modern releases the Ohook engine is the right choice: it is permanent, works offline and survives Office updates. Grab the tool from the KMSAuto download page and follow the steps below.
Pick the right method
- Ohook — permanent, offline, best for Office 2016/2019/2021/2024 and 365 apps.
- KMS — renewable 180-day license, best for Volume License deployments.
- TSforge — for LTSC Office builds that reject both methods.

Frequently asked questions
▸Can KMSAuto activate Office 2024?
Yes. Use the Ohook method inside KMSAuto for Office 2024, Office 2021 and Microsoft 365 desktop apps — it patches the licensing DLL and produces a permanent, offline license.
▸Does KMSAuto work with Microsoft 365 apps?
The desktop apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) activate through Ohook. Cloud services such as OneDrive storage or the web apps are account-based and cannot be activated by any tool.
▸Do I need to uninstall my Office product key first?
No, but removing a broken key with ospp.vbs /unpkey avoids conflicts. The commands are listed on the ospp commands reference page.
▸Is Office activation with KMSAuto permanent?
With Ohook, yes. With classic KMS mode it lasts 180 days and renews automatically while the scheduler task exists.
▸Which Office editions are supported?
Office 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021, 2024 (Retail, Volume, LTSC), plus Visio and Project of the same generations.
