What is the process to activate office using license key?Updated 11 days ago

Activating Microsoft Office using a license key is a simple yet essential step to unlock the full features of the software. Whether you've purchased a physical copy or received a digital download via office.com/setup, the license key serves as proof of purchase and ensures your Office suite is genuine. Activation helps Microsoft verify that the software hasn't been used on more devices than allowed by the license.

Step-by-step process to activate Microsoft Office using a license key:

  1. Open any Office application (like Word or Excel) to activate office using license key.
  2. Click on File in the top-left corner.
  3. Select Account or Help (depending on your version).
  4. Click Activate Product or Change Product Key.
  5. Enter your 25-character license key when prompted.
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete activation.
  7. Once done, Office should show "Product Activated" in the Account section.
