Hi Riccky,
Good day. Thank you for the clear explanation of your concern.
As this is a user-to-user community forum, I do not have the ability to directly access or modify your account or service. However, I can provide guidance, recommend next steps, share applicable resources, and direct you to the appropriate support channels so the issue can be investigated further.
For Visio 2021, the product key normally needs to be redeemed and linked to a Microsoft account. Once the key has been redeemed, the license is usually managed through the Microsoft account used during the redemption process, rather than by entering the product key again during every reinstall.
Here are some steps you can try:
1/ Check the Microsoft account associated with the license
- Go to: https://account.microsoft.com/services
- Sign in using the Microsoft account you may have used to redeem Visio 2021. If your AOL email was registered as a Microsoft account, please try signing in with that email as well.
- If Visio 2021 appears there, you should be able to reinstall it directly from the account page.
2/ Try redeeming the product key again
- If Visio 2021 does not appear in your account, please go to: https://office.com/setup
- Sign in with your Microsoft account and enter your Visio 2021 product key.
3/ If the key shows as already used
This usually means the product key has already been redeemed and is linked to a Microsoft account.
- In that case, try signing in with any other Microsoft accounts you may have used previously, such as Outlook, Hotmail, Gmail, or your AOL email if it was used as a Microsoft account.

If the license still cannot be located or the product key cannot be validated, please keep your PC World order confirmation, receipt, or proof of purchase available and reach out to PC World for further assistance. Since the license was purchased through PC World, they would be in the best position to verify the order details, confirm the license information, and assist with any purchase or key-related concerns.
I hope this helps clarify the situation. Should you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to share them in the comment below. I'm very happy to help.
