    When you first activated your Office subscription that licence should have become associated to your Microsoft Account as a digital licence online and it is from there that you can re-install Office without the need for a product key:

    To transfer your Office subscription to a new computer, you need to install Microsoft 365 on your new device. Here are the steps to do that:

    1. Sign in to your account: Go to the Microsoft 365 website and sign in with the account associated with your Office subscription.
    2. Install Office: After signing in, navigate to My accounts > Apps & devices. Here, you will find the option to install Microsoft 365.
    3. Follow the installation prompts: Click on the install button and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation on your new computer.
    4. Activate Office: Once installed, open any Office application (like Word or Excel) and sign in with your Microsoft account to activate your subscription.

    If you encounter any issues, ensure that your subscription is active and that you have uninstalled Office from your old computer if you need to free up a license.
