Redeeming your product key is a one-time process that adds your new product to your Microsoft account. When you're done, you'll use your Microsoft account, not your product key, to install and activate Office apps.

: If you have an existing Microsoft 365 subscription, you can redeem a new product key to extend or renew your subscription.

Your browser does not support video. Install Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player, or Internet Explorer 9.

What to do if you don't have a product key

Sign in to view the Microsoft account, Services & subscriptions page to see if your product has already been added to your Microsoft account. If it has, you don't need a product key to install your product. If you bought your product online from the Microsoft Store, be sure to sign in using the Microsoft account you used to buy your product.

For help with product keys, see Using product keys with Office.

What to do if your product key has already been used

Your product key can only be redeemed once. It isn't meant to be re-used or shared. If you get a message that your product key has already been used, you can go directly to your Microsoft account, Services & subscriptions page to install your product and manage your subscription benefits.

If you bought Microsoft 365 Family and want to share your subscription, please don't send the product key to the people you want to share with because they will see the same error. Instead, send them an email or link using the procedure in How to share your Office 365 Home subscription benefit. This will add their Microsoft accounts to your subscription and allow them to go to their Microsoft account, Services & subscriptions page to install Office apps on their own devices.
