    Did you have a prior Microsoft 365 Subscription, Mac Office perpetual or the Trial version? If so it probably is a License conflict. This should help resolve the problem: Remove Office license

    Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

    If you haven't already, I’d suggest is to uninstall any existing Office apps on your Mac to avoid conflict:

    Then, to reinstall Microsoft Office:

    • Go to https://account.microsoft.com/services
    • Sign in using the same Microsoft account linked to your license.
    • Find your Microsoft Office 2024 and click the "Install".
    • That will download the installer for the Office apps, just run it and follow the steps.

    If anything’s unclear or the "Install" option still doesn’t show, feel free to let me know. I’ll be happy to walk you through it!

    I really hope this information is helpful! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

    Regards,

    John J.D.
