retrieve product key for office 365

I purchased 365 from Del when I purchase my new Lap Top computer and they install 365 for me back in April 2014.

I just want to have the "KEY" in case I crashed and have to reinstall 365.

Bart:

365 is different than the "traditional" licenses you are used to:

• Once it has been activated initially, you no longer need the product key
• the Office 365 license is a "subscription", aka a rental, that you have to pay for repeatedly, either yearly or monthly (more expensive).
• if you don't pay the subscription when it comes due, Office will go into "limited function mode"
• All Office 365 license "management" is done through the "MyAccount" web page:

**http://office.com/myaccount**

• You can use the myaccount site to install Office on new machines, and to remove (deactivate) it from current machines (new function we could not do previously

Here are some links about using the MyAccount site:

Hello Marion,

An Office Product key is an alphanumeric combination with 25 characters. Here’s an article that discusses about how to find your Office product key and what to do in case you lost it. Once you have found your Office product key, you can activate your Office 365 by following the steps provided in this link. It also includes troubleshooting steps to resolve any activation errors.

Since you mentioned that you forgot your Office 365 credential, you can refer to this **article**for instructions on how to reset your Microsoft Account.

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have other questions.

Yeah, I have no idea how to access my 365 account.

Every year I get billed about £60 for 365, I'm not even sure how that started. Just bought a new laptop that already had Windows installed. Hard drive crashed, had it replaced, now telling me I need to activate Office or it'll shut down in two days.

Can't find the 365 code. Can't log into 365 because I can't find my user ID.

I have an automatic renewal notice from 2nd Feb saying I'm about to be charged, and the money went out of my account. Must have received something after that but can't find it.

What do I do?
