What you need
- Your 25-character product key — in your order confirmation email and under Orders in your Lizensa dashboard
- A Microsoft account (free)
- A PC running Windows 10 or 11
Step 1 — Redeem your key at office.com/setup
- Go to office.com/setup and sign in with your Microsoft account (or create one).
- Enter the 25-character product key exactly as shown, then select Next.
- Confirm your region and language, then select Redeem.
Step 2 — Download and install
- On the confirmation page select Install Office.
- Run the downloaded
Setupfile and allow the installer to make changes. - Wait for "You're all set" — Office installs as Click-to-Run; no ISO is needed.
Step 3 — Activate
- Open any Office app (for example Word).
- Sign in with the same Microsoft account you redeemed the key with — Office activates automatically.
Notes
- This flow covers Office 2019 Home & Student / Home & Business, Office 2021 Home & Student / Home & Business, and Office 2024 Home / Home & Student / Home & Business.
- A retail key activates one device at a time; deactivate on the old device before moving it.
- The key is linked to your Microsoft account — reinstall any time from account.microsoft.com under Services & subscriptions.
