I recently purchased Office 2021 Professional. The product key says it must be redeemed in 30 days. I may be purchasing a new PC in more than 30 days. Can the Office 2021 product key be redeemed and not activated until I purchase a new PC?

Hello firefinder,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I am a Microsoft user just like you, I hope you are doing well?

If you have Office 2021 product key, you can redeem this product key to your Microsoft account and install at anytime. It is a lifetime license so it will be available in your Microsoft account services and subscription page.

To redeem the Office product key:

Step 1: Go to www.office.com/setup or Microsoft365.com/setup.

Step 2: Sign in with your Microsoft account, or create one if you don't have one.

Step 3: Enter your product key, without hyphens, if prompted.

Step 4: Follow the prompts to finish the redemption process.

Once you have redeemed the product key to your Microsoft account, you can then install Office by signing in https://office.com/myaccount on your new PC oncdme purchased.
