Are you running a home lab to test software and bumping into the 180 grace period? VLMCSD might be something interesting for you.
The vlmcsd is an open source KMS emulator that can run on a variety of CPU architectures and operating systems. You can find it officially on My Digital Life-forum (registration required) although at least one other person has mirrored it on GitHub. Running the KMS daemon on Ubuntu Server can be handy for home lab testing purposes.
The easiest way to download is through Github. I also renamed the binary to just vlmcsd to make it simpler and copied it to /usr/local/bin:
If all goes well, you should see output similar to below:
● vlmcsd.service - vlmcsd KMS emulator service

To activate a product like Office 2016 against this KMS emulator, you can use the ospp.vbs script located in your Office installation folder:
# Change to Office installation directory
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16"
# Set the KMS server to be used for activationcscript ospp.vbs /sethst:#YOUR_IP_ADDRESS_HERE
# Activate Office against the set servercscript ospp.vbs /act
