How to get lost original license code for new subscription

2026-08-03T20:47:43.5166667+00:00

I purchased a new MacBook Pro in November as well as Microsoft 365 365 Personal 1 year license. I’m not a Mac user and computer illiterate so have been procrastinating setting it up because I’ve always used a PC for work.

I want to sign in the Mac and download the 356. BUT I can’t find the license code or the email it was in.

any ideas?????????

    If the product key has already been redeemed, you don't need the key again. It is associated with the Microsoft account used when it was redeemed.

    If you purchased it through the Mac App Store: open the App Store on your Mac, sign in with the Apple Account used for the purchase, and download the Microsoft 365 apps again. Then sign in with the Microsoft account associated with your subscription.

    If you purchased it directly from Microsoft**:** sign in to the Microsoft account used for the purchase and check your subscription here:
    https://account.microsoft.com/services

    If Microsoft 365 Personal is listed as an active subscription, select Install to download the apps.
