How Do I Activate My Microsoft Office After Purchase?

Step 1: Obtain Your Product Key

Step 2: Sign In to Your Microsoft Account
Go to the Microsoft Office website and sign in with your Microsoft account. If you don’t have an account, you’ll need to create one.

Step 3: Enter Your Product Key
Once signed in, click on your profile icon, select “My Account,” and navigate to “Services & subscriptions.” Here, you’ll find an option to “Enter a product key.” Enter your key and follow the prompts to activate.

Step 4: Download and Install Office
If you haven’t already, download Microsoft Office from Digital License Store or directly from the Microsoft website. Follow the provided instructions to complete the installation.

Step 5: Launch an Office Application
Open any Office application, like Word or Excel. You may be prompted to sign in with your Microsoft account. Once signed in, your product should be fully activated.

How to Confirm Microsoft Office Activation Status

To ensure that your Microsoft Office is activated, follow these steps:

1. Open an Office Application: Launch any application (e.g., Word or Excel).
2. Go to Account Settings: Click on “File” in the top-left corner, then select “Account” or “Office Account.”
