Answer 1

Hello,

Make sure you sign in with the exact Microsoft account linked to your subscription, open any Office app like Excel, tap Sign In, and use the full email tied to your Microsoft 365. Update the app from the App Store if needed and check your subscription at https://account.microsoft.com/services

Let me know if that works, thanks.

Answer 2

Try these steps to resolve an issue where a Microsoft 365 account is not recognized on an iPad:

1. Confirm the correct account type is used
   • Do not sign in with the Apple ID.
   • Use either:
     • A Microsoft 365 work or school account, or
     • A personal Microsoft account (for example one used with Hotmail, OneDrive, Outlook.com, Skype, Windows, Xbox Live).
2. Verify the username and password
   • On a browser, sign in using the same email and password that are being used on the iPad to confirm they work. See the guidance in Where to sign in to Microsoft 365 from the context.
3. Sign in correctly in the Office app on iPad
   • Open Word, Excel, or PowerPoint on the iPad.
   • On the Account screen, tap Sign In.
   • Enter the email address and password associated with the Microsoft 365 subscription or Microsoft account.
4. If the app reports “No subscription found” or similar on iPad
   • Reset the Office app on the iPad:
     1. Open Settings on the iPad.
     2. Scroll down and select Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.
     3. Under RESET, tap Reset <app name>.
     4. Enable Delete Login Credentials.
     5. Close the app completely (Home button twice, swipe the app up), then reopen and sign in again with the correct account.
5. Check system requirements
   • Ensure the iPad and the Office apps meet the current system requirements as listed on the App Store pages or via the Microsoft 365 system requirements page in the context.

If the account still is not recognized after these steps, verify with the subscription owner (for example, work, school, or family organizer) that the account actually has an active Microsoft 365 subscription assigned.
