    Hi,

    You can also download the Mac version from the link below and proceed with the installation; after that, log in using the account that is part of the Microsoft Family group.

    For Microsoft 365 Family on a new Mac, sign in with the Microsoft account associated with the subscription, then install Office from the Microsoft 365 apps page.

    Steps:

    1. Go to https://m365.cloud.microsoft/apps.
    2. Sign in with the Microsoft account linked to the Microsoft 365 Family subscription.
    3. Select Install apps and start the download.
    4. When the download finishes, open Finder > Downloads and double-click Microsoft Office installer.pkg.
    5. Select Continue, review the license agreement, and select Agree.
    6. Choose the install options and select Continue.
    7. Review disk space or change the install location, then select Install.
    8. Enter the Mac login password if prompted, then select Install Software.
    9. When installation finishes, select Close.

    If only specific apps are needed, select Customize during setup and clear the apps that should not be installed.

    If the installer says it is from an unidentified developer, wait 10 seconds, move the downloaded file to the desktop, then hold Control and click the file to launch the installer.

    Microsoft 365 Family can be shared with up to five other people, and each person can install Microsoft 365 on all their devices and be signed in on five at the same time.

    If the subscription was purchased through the Mac App Store, Office apps can also be downloaded from the Mac App Store. The Mac App Store versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint require a Microsoft 365 subscription to activate.
