Install Microsoft Office with a Product Key (Retail & Bind)
This guide shows you, simply and step by step, how to redeem an Office product key and install Microsoft Office on your computer.
Retail means the license is tied to a Microsoft account – you redeem the product key at setup.office.com. Bind means the license becomes permanently linked to a Microsoft account. In both cases: redeem the product key at setup.office.com and then install Office.
Go to setup.office.com & sign in
Open setup.office.com. Sign in with your Microsoft account (or create a new, free account) and click “Get started”.
Enter the product key
Enter the 25-character product key and click “Next”.
Choose language & redeem
Select your language and click “Redeem”.
Download & install
Download Office (Download 64-bit or 32-bit) and run the installation.
After the installation
Open an Office app (e.g. Word) and sign in with the Microsoft account you used to redeem the license.
Activation & Confirmation ID (CID)
If online activation fails (e.g. the message “The limit has been reached”), you can activate Office by phone. You enter your Installation ID and receive a Confirmation ID (CID) that you type into the activation wizard.
