    Hello,

    Retrieving the product key or to be activate Office 2016 depends on how you purchase your Office license.

    • If you purchase your Office 2016 license directly from Microsoft Store, then you don’t need a product key. Just simply sign in with the Microsoft account where the office associated and this should allow the activation to note. Therefore, its important to know which account used to purchase as well as its credential.
    • If purchased from 3rd party reseller. They usually send the product key along with the purchase confirmation via email. So, you may check your email or look somewhere where you may save it.
