How do I find my product key?

Question

what is my product key? I switched computers and want to install word, powerpoint and excel

Answer 1

Product keys are only used the first time you install. After that, download an installer from the Subscriptions page of your Microsoft account. After installation, sign in to an Office program and the software will be activated.

Answer 2

To find your product key for Microsoft 365 Apps, you can follow these steps:

1. Check your email: If you purchased Microsoft 365 online, the product key may have been sent to your email.
2. Microsoft 365 admin center: If you have a volume licensing agreement, you can find your product keys in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Go to Billing > Your products, then select the Volume licensing tab and view the keys available.
3. Retail packaging: If you bought a physical copy, the product key is usually found inside the packaging or on a card.
4. Using Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT): If you're using VAMT, you can manage and install product keys for Microsoft products through that tool.

Once you have your product key, you can use it to install Word, PowerPoint, and Excel on your new computer.
