bought a Office professional plus 2024 key from groupon - how to install

Hi Mary,

Before proceeding, please note that Office Professional Plus 2024 (Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024) is generally a Volume Licensing edition intended for organizations rather than individual consumers. It is typically acquired through Volume Licensing agreements, CSP partners, or other authorized Microsoft licensing programs, and uses activation methods such as MAK or KMS.

Because of this, it's important to verify that the product key was obtained through a legitimate and authorized source. Some third-party sellers offer volume-license keys that are not eligible for individual resale. If the key is not backed by a valid license entitlement, Microsoft may be unable to assist with activation or installation issues.

If the key was purchased online, particularly at a heavily discounted price, you may want to consider the following:

• Contact the seller if you have concerns about the legitimacy of the license.
• Be cautious of "Professional Plus LTSC" or Volume License listings marketed for personal use.
• Purchase Office directly from Microsoft or an authorized reseller to ensure eligibility for support and a valid license.

If the key is part of a legitimate Volume License purchase, Office is typically installed using the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) with the appropriate Office LTSC 2024 configuration, rather than through the standard Microsoft 365 installer.
