    Please do not submit the same issue more than once. It gains you nothing but does cause duplication of effort & confusion.

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

    After a recent update office auto-upgraded to 2025 and 2024 key is not accepted.

    What do you mean by auto-upgraded to 2025 here?

    There is no official Microsoft Office version called "Office 2025". The latest perpetual license version is Office 2024, available as a standalone or one-time purchase product.

    Do you see your Office Home 2024 license in your Microsoft account online?

    Sign in to the Services&Subscriptions page here-

    https://account.microsoft.com/services

    If you see the license, you can download the Office installer.pkg file directly to your computer and install it. Make sure you remove all previous apps from your Mac and install the 2024 version from your Microsoft account.
