    Hello, I'm new here, please tell me if I broke some rules while writing this

    I got myself Office 2016 for academia reasons and I'm looking for an activator for it, except that I don't know much about computers and I don't understand what most of the threads around here are recommanding ?

    I understand that explaining stuff to a total beginner is annoying but please help this is due in a week

    KMS_VL_ALL_AIO-38f will do the trick activating.
    It will also convert (if needed) Office C2R retail to volume.

    If you have the old MSI based Office version:
    1 - a volume edition is ready to activate by KMS
    2 - a retail edition needs a retail to volume conversion before you can activate by KMS

    Script: MS Office 2016 License converter will help you in this case

    Post info about which Office media you use if this is not sufficient info to get you activated

    See answer from @Windows_Addict

    Would like to mention a few things,
    - There is no retail media for MSI based office 2016.
    - KMS_VL_ALL can activate any version of office 2016 (except uwp version, if there is any), that mentioned converter tool is not required at all.
