    1. Redeem the product key if Office 2024 has not been redeemed yet. Enter the 25-character key on the Office product key redemption site for the product, then complete the redemption using the Microsoft account that should own Office.
    2. After redemption, install Office 2024 from the Microsoft account that is linked to the license:
      • Go to the Services & subscriptions page.
      • Sign in with the same Microsoft account used to redeem or purchase Office 2024.
      • Find Office 2024 and select Install.
    3. If Office 2024 was already redeemed, do not enter the key again. A redeemed key is used once, and reinstalling is done by signing in to the Microsoft account that already has the license.
    4. Remove Microsoft 365 or any Office trial to avoid activation conflicts:
      • Open Settings > Apps > Installed apps on Windows 11.
      • Uninstall Microsoft 365, Office Trial, or other existing Office versions.
      • Restart the PC.
      This removes the apps, not Word or Excel files.
    5. Run the Office 2024 installer that was downloaded from Services & subscriptions.
    6. Open Word or Excel after installation and sign in with the same Microsoft account. Activation should complete automatically. In File > Account, the product should show as activated for the Office 2024 license.

    If Office does not appear under Services & subscriptions, the product key was likely redeemed with a different Microsoft account. Sign in with the account originally used during setup.

    For newer Office versions, most Office 2024 installs do not require entering a product key inside the app. They activate by signing in with the account already linked to the license.

    If you have a new Office 2024 licence that has not been registered on your account yet, log into this link and enter your product key there to link your licence to your Microsoft account.

    https://setup.office.com/Home?wa=wsignin1.0

    Once the licence is registered on your account, you can then download and install Office 2024 from your Microsoft account on this link.

    https://account.microsoft.com/services/

    Before installing Office 2024, you must uninstall the Microsoft 365 suite, then restart your PC.

    Also, if you do not intend to continue using the Microsoft 365 subscription, log into your Microsoft account on this link (https://account.microsoft.com/services/) and cancel the subscription and also disable the recurring billing on the subscription.

    One last thing to note: when you stop using the Microsoft 365 subscription, you will loose the 1TB of OneDrive storage on OneDrive that comes with the subscription and revert to the free 5GB of OneDrive storage, so you need to download any data you have on OneDrive (https://onedrive.live.com/) to your PC to ensure you have a local copy of all your files to avoid data loss.
