Dear Microsoft Support Team,

I would like to request your assistance regarding a Microsoft 365 product key issue.

I accidentally applied one of my Microsoft 365 product keys to the wrong Microsoft account. The activation was made by mistake, and I would like to ask if it is possible to remove the product key so that I can activate it on the correct account.

Could you please help me check whether this license can be released or transferred?

I can provide additional information such as:

  • Microsoft account email : ******@via-vn.com

Thank you very much for your support.

    Product keys for Microsoft 365 and Office cannot be moved between Microsoft accounts once they have been redeemed. After a product key is redeemed at Office.com/setup, the license is permanently linked to that Microsoft account and there is no supported way to “release” or transfer it to a different account.

    For future installs and activation, use the Microsoft account that already has the product key associated with it by signing in at the Subscriptions page:

    If the product key was recently purchased and applied to the wrong account, the only available options in supported guidance are:

    • Continue to use the subscription with the account where it is currently redeemed, or
    • Request a refund or replacement from the seller if the purchase conditions allow it.

    If more help is needed with the Microsoft account itself (for example, access issues), use the Microsoft account help and support options:
