I purchased this item, but it is not letting me use the MS apps on more than one computer: Office Home & Business 2024

    To install Office Home and Business 2024 on more than one PC, you need to be aware of the licensing terms associated with your purchase. Typically, Office Home and Business licenses allow installation on a single PC. If you want to use Office on multiple devices, you may need to purchase additional licenses or consider a different version of Office that supports multiple installations, such as Microsoft 365, which allows installation on multiple devices under a subscription model.

    Here are the general steps to install Office on a new PC:

    1. Uninstall any previous versions: If you have any previous versions of Office installed, uninstall them first.
    2. Sign in to your Microsoft account: Go to the Microsoft account services page and sign in with the account you used to purchase Office.
    3. Locate your product: Find Office Home and Business 2024 under the "Services & subscriptions" section.
    4. Download and install: Click on "Install" next to Office Home and Business 2024 to download the installer. Run the setup file and follow the installation prompts.
    5. Activate Office: Open any Office application and sign in with the same Microsoft account to activate your product.

    If you need to install it on more than one PC, ensure that you have the necessary licenses for each installation.

    The AI-generated response is correct. Office Home & Business 2024 is a license for one computer (PC or Mac) and one user. If you want it for more computers, you have to buy more licenses. User's image
