    Dear @Kjell Johansson,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    I understand you need step-by-step guidance on installing Microsoft 365 (including Outlook for email and calendar) on your iPad for a business account.

    The core issue for most users is ensuring they install the separate Office apps and then sign in with the correct Microsoft 365 Business credentials to activate them.

    Since you haven’t specified your account type, I may not be able to provide an exact solution. However, assuming you're using a work account, you may consider the following steps: 

    1: Install the Microsoft Office Apps

    You must download the individual apps from the Apple App Store.

    1. Open the App Store on your iPad.
    2. Search for the following apps:
    • Microsoft Outlook (for email and calendar)
    • Microsoft Word
    • Microsoft Excel
    • Microsoft PowerPoint
    • Tap the Get or Cloud icon next to each app to download and install them.

     

    2: Sign In and Activate (Microsoft 365 Business)

    You must sign in to an app to activate the entire suite on your device. We'll use Outlook as the example:

    1. Open the Outlook app on your iPad.
    2. Outlook will ask you to Add Account. Enter the full email address provided by your business (e.g., ******@yourcompany.com).
    3. Tap Add Account and you will be redirected to your company's login page (sometimes a separate Microsoft or organization page).
    4. Enter your Microsoft 365 Business password.
    5. If prompted, complete any Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) steps (e.g., entering a code from your phone or using an authenticator app).
    6. Once Outlook successfully signs in, it activates your Microsoft 365 license on your iPad.

     

    3: Verify Other Apps

    After successful sign-in to Outlook, your other Office apps should be ready:

    1. Open Word or Excel.
    2. The app should automatically detect your active license and allow you to edit and create documents without displaying the "Subscription required" message. If not, tap the Sign in button in the top corner and enter the same business credentials.

    This process ensures your iPad uses your Microsoft 365 Business Standard (or similar) subscription to unlock the full functionality of the apps.

    If you run into any issues during the sign-in process, please let me know the specific error message you receive.

    I hope this information is helpful. Please follow these steps and let me know if it works for you. If not, we can work together to resolve this. Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments so I can continue to support you. I'm looking forward to your reply.

    To install Microsoft Office on your iPad for email, calendar, and other functionalities, you can download the Office Mobile apps such as Word, Excel, and Outlook from the App Store. These apps are available for free, and with applicable Microsoft 365 plans, you can create and edit documents directly on your iPad.

    Once you have downloaded the apps, you can set them up to work with your Microsoft account, which will allow you to access your email and calendar through Outlook and utilize other Office applications seamlessly.

    For detailed instructions on setting up Microsoft 365 apps on your iPad, you can refer to the Microsoft support documentation.
