How can I activate my LinkedIn Premium

Question

How to get a LinkedIn Premium subscription through a Microsoft 365 subscription

Hello, I signed up for Microsoft Office 365 (using my personal Gmail ID) and verified my student status (using my university ID). I have now received confirmation and the invoice for the subscription in my personal email, but my LinkedIn account is not subscribed to Premium. What should I do in this case? Thank you.

Answer 1

Hello !

The LinkedIn Premium redemption voucher does not come immediately after your Microsoft 365 subscription. You'll have to wait up to 7 days before receiving an email with the redemption link.

Please let me know if you have any other question !

Answer 2

To activate LinkedIn Premium through your Microsoft 365 subscription, you typically need to follow these steps:

1. Check Eligibility: Ensure that your Microsoft 365 subscription includes access to LinkedIn Premium. Some educational subscriptions may offer this benefit.
2. Sign in to LinkedIn: Use the same email address associated with your Microsoft 365 subscription to sign in to your LinkedIn account.
3. Activate Premium: If your subscription includes LinkedIn Premium, you should see an option to activate it in your LinkedIn account settings or notifications.
4. Contact Support: If you do not see the option to activate LinkedIn Premium, consider reaching out to Microsoft support or LinkedIn support for assistance, as they can provide specific guidance based on your account status.

Since you mentioned using a personal Gmail ID for your Microsoft Office 365 subscription, ensure that this email is linked to your LinkedIn account for the activation to work properly. If you continue to have issues, contacting your university's IT department may also help clarify any eligibility concerns related to your student status.
