    Office Professional Plus 2024 is activated through Volume License Keys distributed only to large groups, companies, or organizations like schools or workplaces. If you've purchased the product key separately from a third-party retailer, you should contact the seller to return it or request a replacement, as the Professional Plus edition of Office is not intended for personal use.

    For consumer versions, you should download or buy a product key for Office editions like Home 2024, Home & Business 2024, or Office 365.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that particular error message usually means that someone has sold you a faulty product key which isn't intended for personal use, but rather for a volume license product (as Gunasekar has already suggested). Contact the seller.

    Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    May I please know if you are trying to redeem your Office Product key here?

    Additionally, could you let us know which edition of Office you're attempting to redeem, such as Office Home & Student, Office Home 2024, Office Home & Business 2024, Office Professional Plus 2024, LTSC Professional Plus 2024, etc.?
