Hi Tees Admin,

Based on the information provided, it appears that you are trying to install Office 2024 using a product key. In most cases, the product key must first be redeemed and associated with a Microsoft account before the product can be installed. Once redeemed, the key cannot be used again and the license remains permanently linked to that account.

Please perform the following checks:

1. If this is a retail Office license, redeem the key at https://setup.office.com while signed in with your Microsoft account.
2. Sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/services using the Microsoft account that was used to redeem the product key.
3. Verify whether Office 2024 is listed under Services & Subscriptions.
4. If the product is listed, select Install and complete the installation process from the portal.
5. After installation, open any Office application (Word, Excel, etc.) and confirm the installed product and activation status.

If you receive a message indicating that the product key has already been used, this typically means the key has already been redeemed and linked to a Microsoft account. In that case, identifying the correct Microsoft account used during redemption is the next step.

If the Office 2024 license is not visible under any known Microsoft account, please share:

• A screenshot of the error message.
• Whether the product key was redeemed successfully.
• The Microsoft account currently being used for the installation.

This information will help us determine the next troubleshooting steps.
