Use this guide after Microsoft Office 2024 Professional Plus has been installed using the instructions supplied with your Ecokeys order.

Approximate time 2–5 minutes
Difficulty Easy / Guided
Product Office 2024 Professional Plus
Use the licence supplied with this Ecokeys order only Do not repeatedly enter different product keys or install a different Office edition if activation does not complete.

Step 1 — Open Microsoft Word

Select the Start button and type:

Word

Open Microsoft Word.

Step 2 — Check for an Activation Prompt

When Word opens, Microsoft may display a message asking you to activate Office or enter a product key.

If this appears, follow the activation instructions supplied with your Ecokeys order and enter the licence supplied for this installation when requested.

No activation message? That is not necessarily a problem. Continue to the next step and check the activation status from Word.

Step 3 — Open the Office Account Page

If Word opens normally, select:

File → Account

Look at the Product Information section.

Step 4 — Enter the Licence If Required

If your Office installation shows an option to enter, change or switch the product licence, use the licence supplied with your Ecokeys order.

Complete the activation prompts shown by Microsoft.

If Microsoft says the key is invalid or already used Stop at that point. Do not repeatedly enter the key and do not try unrelated product keys. Take a screenshot of the complete message and return to the Ecokeys Support Check.

Step 5 — Confirm the Activation Status

Close Word and open it again.

Then go back to:

File → Account → Product Information

Check what Office now shows.

What Does Your Screen Show?

Product Activated Your Office activation has completed successfully. Return to the Support Check and confirm that Office is now working.
Unlicensed Product / Activation Required / Product Activation Failed Do not reinstall Office yet. Return to the Support Check so we can identify the correct next activation step.
Key Invalid or Already Used Stop entering the key. Take a screenshot of the complete Microsoft message and return to the Support Check so Ecokeys can review the licence.
Microsoft 365 Is Showing Instead Return to the Support Check. A Microsoft 365 or another Office installation may be conflicting with Office 2024 Professional Plus.

Not Sure What the Screen Means?

Leave the File → Account page open and take a screenshot of the complete Product Information area.

Return to your Ecokeys Support Check and upload the screenshot. We can then identify the activation state without asking you to reinstall Office unnecessarily.
