Microsoft 365 features that help users manage their subscriptions, account settings, and billing information.
Microsoft 365 purchased directly from Microsoft is available through the purchasing account’s Services & subscriptions page, so you can install it there without waiting for the confirmation email.
Install Microsoft 365 now
- Open the Services & subscriptions page.
- Sign in with the same personal Microsoft account used for the purchase.
- Find Microsoft 365, then select Install.
- Run the downloaded installer and keep the computer connected to the internet.
A direct digital purchase does not require a product key. Installation can also be started from the confirmation email, but that email is not required if the subscription appears in the account. ^1^
If Microsoft 365 is not listed
Check whether the transaction completed and whether it belongs to the account currently signed in:
- Open Microsoft account order history.
- Select Payment & billing > Order history.
- Adjust the date range to include the purchase date.
- Look at the order status:
- Completed or Redeemed: open the order and look for Install, Product key/Install, or the product name.
- In progress: the order has not yet been posted to the payment method.
- Not shown: sign out and check any other Microsoft account that may have been used for the purchase.
Order history only displays purchases associated with the account currently signed in. ^2^
If the charge posted but the order is missing
Microsoft Q&A cannot access orders, cards, or account records. Contact Microsoft Support and choose the Microsoft 365 > Account & billing or purchase-related option. Provide the order number, purchase date, amount, and only the last four card digits through the private support channel—not in this public forum. Microsoft Support offers self-help and may route account and billing cases to chat. ^3^
Do not purchase another subscription until Support determines whether the existing charge represents a completed order.
Because an order number and account details were posted publicly, remove or redact them from the question if the edit option is available.
