    If you have downloaded and installed the Office apps from your Microsoft account on this link (https://account.microsoft.com/services/) what error is indicated when you try to use the Office apps on your Mac, is that an 0x0 error?

    2

    At the top left of your Mac desktop, click the Apple icon and select 'About this Mac', what version of MacOS is installed on your computer?

    Microsoft 365 is activated by signing in with the Microsoft account that has the subscription. An activation code is not required for Microsoft 365.

    Try this first:

    1. Go to the Microsoft account Services & subscriptions page and confirm the Microsoft 365 subscription appears there and is active.
    2. Open any Office app and sign in with that same Microsoft account.
    3. On Mac, after installation, open Launchpad or go to Finder > Applications and look for the Microsoft apps there.
    4. If the apps were downloaded but the installer did not complete, delete the installer package, empty Trash, then download again in Safari from Microsoft 365 apps and select Install apps.

    To reach a live support person:

    1. Go to Microsoft support.
    2. Type Contact support or Chat with an agent.
    3. Select Microsoft 365 and Office.
    4. Choose the category related to activation or installation.
    5. Select Chat with a support representative or request a call back.

    If the support contact option is unavailable, try again later, since support availability can vary.
