Office 2021 offline activation

Anonymous

Does anyone know how to activate Office Home and Business 2021 with no internet connection? The activate feature in the apps fails immediately without offering any options other than "connect to the Internet and try again". I do not have that option.

The version does not matter, what you want to do is activate via phone.

.

Here are instructions

Phone Activate

Open the the “run” window using <WIN<><R> and type “SLUI 4” (there is a space before the “4”), hit <enter>
This launches the phone dialog.
On the first screen pick your country. It then displays this dialog with a phone number and the “Installation ID” already filled in for you.
Call the phone number provided (hopefully it is the correct one and still works … )
On the phone call you will be prompted to enter the Installation ID.
They will provide you with a “Confirmation ID”, Carefully WRITE IT DOWN.
Then click on the “Enter Confirmation ID” button and type the number they provided.
That should complete the activation for you.
If it doesn’t, you will have to call the phone number again, and this time wait for the option to talk to a live service rep. Live support will only be provided for Office 2013 and newer.

If the process documented above does not work phone again. This time wait until you are given the option of talking to a “service rep”. Explain the problem, they should “flip a switch” to allow the activation to complete.

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and appreciate your time taken for sharing detailed information. I could share with you some of my thoughts on this issue.

Here is a similar thread you could refer to, although it is a professional version, the offline installation method is the same.
