How to activate Microsoft Office?

If you are unable to activate Office despite having a genuine license key and an active subscription, there are some pre-checks to solve the issue. Firstly, check if the product key is registered with your MS Account. Secondly, verify the payment for subscription plans. In case you missed renewing your subscription, Office will show you the message “Unlicensed.”

Solutions for Activation Issues

Solution 1: Check Product Key and Subscription

  1. Ensure the product key is registered to your Microsoft account.
  2. Check the payment status of your subscription. If payment is missed, Office will show as unlicensed.

If your product key is valid, but activation fails due to communication issues, this could be related to internet connectivity. Ensure you have a stable connection for proper activation.

Solution 2: Troubleshooting Office Program Stopped Working

If your Office activation is successful but the program stops working when opening, follow these troubleshooting steps:

  1. Try restarting your PC and Office program.
  2. Reinstall Office if the problem persists.

This solution will help with installation, repair, and reinstallation of the program to ensure functionality.

Solution 3: Reinstall Microsoft Office

To reinstall Microsoft Office, you need the product key. If you don’t know your product key, use the trial version of Office.

    1. Go to office.com and click “Install” from the top menu.
    2. Click “I don’t have a product key,” then click “Next” to install Office.

Solution 4: Activate Office in Safe Mode

If MS Office programs are not opening, try opening them in safe mode. Safe Mode opens Office without any add-ins or extensions, ensuring a clean launch.

  1. Open the Run window and type `winword /safe` (replace ‘winword’ with any Office program like Excel or PowerPoint).
  2. Click “OK” to launch the program in Safe Mode.
