Thisarticle provides step-by-step instructions on how to activate Office for Mac. If you're running into errors or issues with installing or activating Office on your Mac, see What to try if you can't install or activate Office for Mac instead.

For Microsoft 365 for Mac, you can have up to 25 licenses associated with the same Microsoft account: only one license for a Microsoft 365 subscription and multiple one-time-use installs of Microsoft 365 for Mac Home and Student or Home and Business.


If you try to activate a one-time install of Microsoft 365 for Mac and you get the error: Key already used, you will need to select another license to use. Click Cancel and you'll return to the license selection screen.


Step 2: Sign in with your Microsoft account, or create one if you don't have one (you can create one with any existing email address you already have). Be sure to remember this account so that you can install or reinstall Office later, without a product key.


I recently got a new MacBook Air and used the migration assistant to move all of my files and information. When I go to use microsoft word or excel, it won't let me save my edits, saying i need to "activate" my Microsoft office. When I go to log-on, the cursor just spins and it won't take me anywhere. Has anyone else had this issue? I really don't want to have to purchase Office again.


If you have an old version of Microsoft Office you will have to update Office to be compatible with your new Mac. For licensing, activation, compatibility, and purchasing issue you'll have to contact Microsoft.


I recently purchased a new Spectre x360 laptop and included a 1 year personal subscription in my order. After recieving my laptop and getting things setup, I decided to try activing my Office 365 subscription. I could find no information on how to activate my new subscription on my existing Microsoft account. After several failed tries, I initiated a tech chat session. The tech was very friendly and helped my get it activated. But they had to first check on my purchase order and then had to remote into my PC and log into my Microsoft account (with my help) and essentially purchase a 1 year subscription on my behalf. It looks fine and seems to have worked, but I'm quite miffed by the process used to activate my Office 365 subscription. This cannot be the normal process. I would have expected to recieve some kind of activation code or special web link to activate my subscription. At the very least, there should have been instruction provided to me on how to activate my subscription. I should not have to contact tech support and have them remote into my PC to activate it.


I agree. It sounds like your order was not processed properly with the purchase of Office subscription. You should have been emailed the activation code or it included on a card inside the laptop box.


If a PC comes with a 1 year subscription of a software product from HP, the activation key is embedded in the motherboard and activates automatically after installation. This is why you will notice Windows 10 will never require you to enter an activation key unless you changed the motherboard yourself.


I'm not talking about the 1 month trial version of Office 365. I actually purchased a 1 year subscription for Office 365 at the same time that I ordered the PC. Yes, I'm aware that the Windows 10 activation is embedded and activation occurs automatically. The process for activating my purchased 1 year subscription for Office 365 was never explained to me. The activation needs to be associated with my Microsoft account. This process should NOT require tech support and remote control of my PC.


Thanks for the tip. I went back and checked my junk and spam for possible emails. However, none was found. I think someone at HP just messed up and did not provide me with any method to activate the subscription. The tech on the chat was able to activate it, but it was clear that it was not a normal process although at the end of the dialog they claimed it was the normal process. I have a copy of the chat session, if anyone wants to see it.


I am having the same issue. I am setting up my new laptop HP -17Z with a pre-purchased 1-year office 365 subscription that I received yesterday. I attempted to do it myself (software engineer retired) and only got the option for 30-day trial or purchase a new 1-year subscription. Called the chat line and someone remoted into my new PC and gave me the 30-day trial. What!!!!! I even gave them my order number so they could confirm my purchase of the 1-year subscription. Now I am waiting for them to call back to get my 1-year subscription installed. I agree.... it is crazy that they have made this so difficult. Maybe they should just furnish the product key in the shipment so we can do this ourselves.


If your Office has expired, consider purchasing or subscribing to the latest version of Microsoft Office. This will provide the necessary product key and keep you up-to-date with updates and features.


Are you seeking ways to activate Microsoft Office? There are a few options! You can activate it without a product key, or with one. Or, you can activate an expired version for free. Furthermore, we will discuss how to activate Microsoft Word and Office 365 without payment. Lastly, we will provide instructions on activating Microsoft Office 2019.


Once you have a product key, the activation process is fairly simple. Open an Office application and follow the prompts to enter your product key. This will activate your copy of Microsoft Office and unlock all its features.


For a free Office 365 activation, consider signing up for an educational account. Many schools offer students and faculty access to Office 365 with their school email addresses. This allows you to use all its features without paying for a subscription.


Yesterday, I upgraded PrestaShop Checkout from v7.3.5.2 --> v7.3.6.1 and all of a sudden, customers were not able to make payments as they were seeing error messages and no one has been able to place any order. Today, when I found out about the issue and couldn't do anything to fix it, I reset the module to see if that would work. Once it was reset, the module stopped displaying any credit card or paypal payment options. I cleared the cache, upgraded Prestashop from v1.7.8.10 to v1.7.8.11 and checked all the Payment Preference settings but they are all fine. Once, I got this error after module reset: "The configuration is not set. You have an issue with your configuration, try onboarding again or contact our support."


Hi, I just wanted to update this post as I was in touch with Prestashop support and they fixed the issue of activation of module in front office but now the original problem is there as the credit card is being declined even if the info is correct. I emailed support about it but while they are working on it, I switched to Stripe so we don't miss sales.


In November 2022, JLL research reported that office vacancy rates across the country reached 19.1 percent, including a record 185 million square feet, or 3.85 percent of total office space in the country, that is available for sublet. While many remain optimistic that demand for office space will return, short-term vacancy, especially at the ground plane, presents a challenge for owners and city leaders who want to avoid dead zones at the street level.


Designers can also play an important role in restoring or creating vibrancy by working between buildings, in spaces that can deliver impact and value by elevating the public realm and making it relate more directly to existing audiences and with attracting new audiences.


Thoughtful, targeted event planning can draw people in to spend time in places that would otherwise struggle to be occupied. The extra activity creates a level of human energy factor that adds value to real estate when an area always has something going on.

Active students can activate their Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise installation with their Ne...@usc.edu account. Staff and faculty who use their Ne...@usc.edu as their primary computer and network account can also use this account to activate their Office Suite applications. Staff and faculty from USC units that use a different account as their primary computer and network account (e.g., med.usc.edu, law.usc.edu, marshall.usc.edu, etc.) should reference instructions about accessing and activating the Office Suite applications software from their local IT group.
