    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


    Edit:
    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.
