Download, Install, and File > Account > Activate Product
Getting started is quick and straightforward. Follow these steps to download, install, and activate your subscription:
- Download the Installer:
- Visit www.office.com or setup.office.com.
- Sign in with your Microsoft account (the one linked to your subscription). If you don’t have one, create it during the process.
- If you have a 25-character product key from your purchase, enter it on the setup page to redeem and associate it with your account.
- Click Install apps > Microsoft 365 apps to download the installer file (it’s a small .exe or .pkg file, depending on your device).
- Install the Apps:
- Open the downloaded file from your browser or Downloads folder.
- Allow the installer to make changes to your device (click Yes if prompted by User Account Control).
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation—it typically takes 5-15 minutes. The apps will appear in your Start menu (Windows), Applications folder (Mac), or app drawer (mobile).
- File > Account > Activate Product:
- Launch any installed app, such as Word or Excel.
- Go to File (top-left menu) > Account (or Help > Activate Product on some versions).
- Sign in with the same Microsoft account used for the subscription.
- Accept the license agreement. Your subscription activates automatically, and you’ll see a confirmation message (e.g., “Product Activated”).
- For family sharing: The primary user can invite others via the Microsoft account dashboard (under Services & subscriptions > Share). Invitees accept via email or link, sign in, and follow the same install/activate steps.
Tip: You can install on up to 5 devices per user simultaneously (PC, Mac, tablet, or phone). If issues arise, restart the app or check your internet connection—activation requires an online link.
