- Install the 10-day subscription key using an elevated command prompt:
cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\" cscript OSPP.VBS /inpkey:DRNV7-VGMM2-B3G9T-4BF84-VMFTK
- Check if the license is activated, this will be a 5-day license which you can activate (rearm) again for the other 5 days.

cscript OSPP.VBS /dstatus
- Rearm the license with the following command:
cscript OSPP.VBS /rearm
