    To activate your Microsoft 365 account on your desktop without a product key, you can follow these steps:

    1. Sign in with your Microsoft account: Use the Microsoft account associated with your subscription to sign in to Microsoft 365. This is typically the email address you used to purchase or subscribe to Microsoft 365.
    2. Check your subscription status: Ensure that your subscription is active. You can do this by signing into the Microsoft 365 portal and checking your account settings.
    3. Install Microsoft 365: If you haven't installed Microsoft 365 yet, you can download it from the Microsoft 365 portal. After installation, sign in with your Microsoft account to activate the apps.
    4. Troubleshoot activation issues: If you encounter any errors during activation, you may want to check for any existing credentials in the Credential Manager and remove them, or ensure that your device is connected to the internet.

    If you continue to have issues, consider reaching out to Microsoft support for further assistance.

    1

    Open Word, then at the top of Word, log out of Office.

    Restart (not shut down) your PC and log back into Office, is your subscription then recognized correctly.

    2

    If not, log into your Microsoft account on this link, is the expiry date listed correctly on your Microsoft 365 subscription, and is that where you installed Office from, without the need for a product key, because it is a digital licence.
