    On a Mac, install it from the Microsoft account that was used for the purchase.

    1. Go to m365.cloud.microsoft/apps and sign in with the Microsoft account linked to the purchase.
    2. Select Apps in the left pane.
    3. Select Install apps in the upper-right.
    4. If a menu appears, select Microsoft 365 apps.
    5. Open the downloaded installer and complete the prompts.
    6. After installation, open Word or another Office app from Launchpad or Finder > Applications.
    7. Sign in if prompted to activate Office.

    If the purchase was a one-time Office product and it does not appear there:

    • Go to Order history, sign in with the Microsoft account used to buy it, find the purchase, and select Product key/Install.
    • For Workplace Discount Program purchases, check Services & subscriptions page using the Microsoft account tied to the purchase, not the work email.

    If the installer downloads but will not open on Mac:

    • Move the Microsoft Office installer.pkg file from Downloads to the Desktop.
    • Hold Control and click the file, then select Open.
    • If needed, delete the installer, empty Trash, and download again using Safari.

    If apps seem missing after install, check:

    • Launchpad
    • Finder > Applications > Microsoft

    When you first purchased and activated Office that licence should have become associated to your Microsoft Account as a digital licence online and it is from there that you can re-install Office without the need for a product key:
