Processes in Microsoft 365 for setting up Office apps, redeeming product keys, and activating licenses.
For a Microsoft 365 subscription, a product key is usually not provided. The subscription is normally linked directly to the Microsoft account that was used to make the purchase.
Try these steps:
- Go to the Microsoft account, Services & subscriptions page.
- Sign in with the Microsoft account that was used for the purchase.
- Check whether the Microsoft 365 subscription appears there.
- If Office is already installed, open an Office app and sign in with that same Microsoft account to activate it.
If the subscription does not appear:
- Check your order history at https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders.
- Confirm the purchase was made under the same Microsoft account.
- If it still is not listed, contact Microsoft support for account and billing assistance at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/contactus/.
If the purchase was a physical box or card from a retail store, the subscription does not start until the product key on the box or card is redeemed.
