I have a Microsoft 365 Premium subscription, Order Number: [Moderator Note: Personal Info Removed], with Plan Price: USD 19.99 plus applicable taxes/1 month, and Renewal Date: February 25, 2027.

This subscription is not showing on my laptop under Settings > Accounts. Why is that?

Hello Alfred Lucas,

I can see that your Microsoft 365 Premium not registering in the laptop settings

A Microsoft 365 subscription may not appear as a separate product under Windows Settings > Accounts. Its status is normally managed through the Microsoft account associated with the purchase.

Please sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/services using the same Microsoft account used to purchase the subscription and confirm that Microsoft 365 Premium is listed as active.

Then open Word or Excel and select File > Account. Check whether the same Microsoft account is signed in and whether Microsoft 365 Premium is shown under Product Information. If the correct subscription is listed online but not recognized in the Office apps, select Update License, then restart the app.

If possible, please let us know what product name appears under File > Account and whether the subscription is shown as active on the Services & subscriptions page.

Please feel free reply back to this post if you need further assistance, I'll be happy to help.

    That upgrade process took a couple minutes to register under File > Account, but all is good now. Thanks.
