How do I chat with a customer service representative?

I need someone to help me figure out why I cannot access my MS 365 account with my new computer. I pay a monthly account but the software says it's unlicensed.

Hello Sherri Moser,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Before we proceed, may I have a photo of the issue to check for you? Please remember to remove all personal information before posting.

If you still want to reach out to chat support for more information and access, you can contact them using this method.

Type Live chat in the search box.
Now click Get help, and Select Contact Support or Sign in to contact support below.
Go to the Products and services tab, and choose Other products
On the Category tab, choose Billing and Account Profile questions
Go to Confirm.
You can now choose the option of Chat with a support agent on your web browser.

I'm waiting for your reply.

For a Microsoft 365 home subscription showing Unlicensed Product on a new computer, use Microsoft Support chat and also verify the account used to activate Microsoft 365.

First, confirm the subscription is tied to the Microsoft account being used on the new PC. Microsoft 365 is activated by signing in with the Microsoft account that has the active subscription.
If the app shows Unlicensed Product or another activation error, use the Office activation troubleshooting guidance.
To chat with a support representative:
- Go to Get Help on the web.
- Enter the issue and select Get Help.
- Then select Contact Support.
- Choose Microsoft 365 and Office.
- Choose the category that matches the issue, such as activation or subscription/account help.
- Select Chat with a support agent in your web browser if that option is offered.
If the account itself cannot be signed in, start with the Sign-in Helper tool. It checks the email address or phone number entered and guides the next steps.

Important: Microsoft support agents cannot send password reset links or access and change account details.

If the subscription has a payment problem, Microsoft 365 can become expired or suspended and show an account notice or unlicensed state. In that case, update the subscription or payment issue first.
