Processes in Microsoft 365 for setting up Office apps, redeeming product keys, and activating licenses.
How Can I claim my Office 2024
Hello Microsoft Support Team,
I need technical assistance with activating the Microsoft Office Home 2024 lifetime licence bundled with my HP laptop.
Laptop details:
- Brand: HP
- Model: HP OmniBook 5
Purchase: Directly from HP
Bundled software: Microsoft Office Home 2024
HP confirmation:
I contacted HP Customer Care. They confirmed that Office Home 2024 is eligible for my device and advised me to contact Microsoft for activation assistance.
Troubleshooting already completed:
Windows 11 is activated.
Office Home 2024 appears under Microsoft Store → Library → Included with device.
The Claim option opens Microsoft Word but does not complete activation.
Word displays Microsoft 365 – View Only (Unlicensed).
Clicking Activate Product displays a message stating that Microsoft 365 Basic does not include desktop Word.
Microsoft Store and Word are signed in with the same personal Microsoft account.
I reset the Microsoft Store cache using wsreset.exe and attempted the claim process again.
Office Home 2024 is still missing from my Microsoft account's Services & Subscriptions page.
The public Office Home 2024 Store page also displays "This product is not currently available, try again later."
Assistance required:
Please investigate the OEM Office Home 2024 digital entitlement associated with my HP device.
The device-specific Claim process appears to be failing because it redirects to Word without completing the redemption or associating the perpetual licence with my Microsoft account.
I request that the Office Activation and Licensing team investigate the entitlement and advise how to complete the activation.
I am not requesting a Microsoft 365 subscription. I need assistance activating the Office Home 2024 lifetime licence included with my HP purchase.
I can provide the HP purchase invoice, laptop serial number, screenshots and HP support confirmation.
Please register a service request and provide a case reference number.
Thank you
