# Microsoft Office Product Key Activation Guide
Activating your Microsoft Office suite is a straightforward process, but it requires a valid product key. This guide will walk you through the steps to successfully activate your Microsoft Office using your product key.
## What is a Microsoft Office Product Key?
A Microsoft Office product key is a 25-character code that comes with your Office purchase. It typically looks like this: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX. This key verifies that your copy of Office is genuine and allows you to install and activate the software.
## Where to Find Your Product Key
Your Microsoft Office product key can be found in several places depending on how you purchased the software:
– Retail purchase: Check the product packaging or card inside the box
Keyword: microsoft office product key
– Digital purchase: Look in your email confirmation or Microsoft account
– Pre-installed on a new computer: Check the Certificate of Authenticity sticker on your device
## Step-by-Step Activation Process
### Step 1: Install Microsoft Office
If you haven’t already installed Office, download it from office.com/setup or use the installation media that came with your purchase.
### Step 2: Open an Office Application
Launch any Office application (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.). You’ll see an activation prompt if Office isn’t already activated.
### Step 3: Enter Your Product Key
When prompted, type your 25-character product key without hyphens. The system will automatically format it as you type.
### Step 4: Sign In to Your Microsoft Account
You’ll need to sign in with your Microsoft account to complete activation. If you don’t have one, you can create it during this process.
### Step 5: Complete Activation
Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the activation process. Once completed, you’ll have full access to all Office features.
