how to locate license for MS office

To find which account the Office license is associated with, use these steps:

1. On a PC where Office is still activated, open any Office app such as Word or Excel.
2. Go to File > Account.
3. Under the product name, check Belongs to. That shows the Microsoft account associated with that Office license.

If Office is not available on any device, check Microsoft account subscriptions:

1. Sign in to the Services & subscriptions page with each Microsoft account that might have been used.
2. If the license is linked to that account, Office will appear there and can be reinstalled from that page.

Important details:

• The full Office product key cannot be viewed inside Office.
• For most Office and Microsoft 365 purchases, the Microsoft account replaces the product key for reinstalling and activating Office.
• If the license does not appear, it may be under a different Microsoft account.
• If this is a Microsoft 365 for business license and the required license is missing, the Microsoft 365 admin or IT staff must help assign or add the license.
