How do I activate my Microsoft Office programs?
When you start your Office program for the first time after installation, you are prompted to enter your Product Key, if you have not already done so during Setup.
Activate over the Internet or by phone
When you enter your valid Product Key, the Activation Wizard automatically runs and it gives you two choices on how to proceed:
Activate by using the Internet The Activation Wizard automatically contacts the Microsoft licensing servers through your Internet connection. If you are using a valid Product Key that has not already been used for the allowed number of installations, your product is activated immediately.
When you activate through the Internet, your product ID (derived from the installation Product Key) is sent to Microsoft. A response (the confirmation ID) is sent back to your computer to activate your product. If you choose to activate your product through the Internet and you are not already connected, the wizard alerts you that there is no connection.
Activate by using the telephone You can telephone an Activation Center and activate your product with the help of a customer service representative.
Important Activation Center numbers are not listed in this article, because there are many numbers, and the correct number for you is based on several factors. Microsoft software can be obtained under various licenses, including individual retail licenses, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) licenses, and volume licenses. Telephone numbers vary by product license and country/region. In step 2 of the Activation Wizard, use the telephone number provided to call the Microsoft Activation Center.
Telephone activation might take longer than activation through the Internet. You should be at your computer when you call, and you should have your software Product Key available.
In the Activation Wizard, select the country/region where you reside and where you plan to use the product.
The wizard provides one or more telephone numbers.
Call the Activation Center.
The customer service representative asks you for your installation ID (displayed on your screen) and other relevant information. After your installation ID is verified, you receive a confirmation ID.
In the Activation Wizard, type the confirmation ID in the spaces provided at the bottom of the screen, and then press ENTER.
