    ## Office 2021
    ## Method 1: Using my command line
    ### Step 1.1: Open cmd program with administrator rights.
    - First, you need to open cmd in the admin mode, then run all commands below one by one.
    ### Step 1.2: Get into the Office directory in cmd.
    - For x86 and x64
    ```
    cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16
    cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16
    ```
    - If you install your Office in the ProgramFiles folder, the Office directory depends on the architecture of your OS. If you are not sure of this issue, just run both of the commands above. One of them will be not executed and an error message will be printed on the screen.
    ### Step 1.3: Install Office 2021 volume license.
    ```
    for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\ProPlus2021VL_KMS*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x"
    ```
    - This step is required. You can not install the KMS client product key of Office without a volume license.
    ### Step 1.4: Activate your Office using the KMS key.
    - Make sure your device is connected to the internet, then run the following commands.
    ```
    cscript ospp.vbs /setprt:1688
    cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:6F7TH >nul
    cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:FXYTK-NJJ8C-GB6DW-3DYQT-6F7TH
    cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:e8.us.to
    cscript ospp.vbs /act
    ```
    - If you see the error `0xC004F074`, it means that your internet connection is unstable or the server is busy. Please make sure your device is online and try the command “act” again until you succeed.
    ### Here is all the text you will get in the command prompt window
    ```
    C:\Windows\system32>cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16
    The system cannot find the path specified.
