For detailed instructions with screenshots, jump to our walkthrough.

1. Before installing the new Office package, it is necessary to uninstall all old Office versions from your computer. You can find and uninstall these in the settings under Apps. Download the Microsoft SARA-Tool for simple bug fixes to make sure that all old Office versions are completely uninstalled. Microsoft gives a detailed guide on how to uninstall all old Office versions.

Hint: This is also necessary if the Windows is a fresh installation, and you never used the Microsoft 365.

2. Follow the link from the invoice to our Download Center and download the Office package.

3. Double click the .iso file to mount it as a virtual drive in Windows. Run the start.cmd file (not setup!) then click run

4. After the installation has been completed and you have verified it, you can enter the key. To do this, open Word and click on "File" in the upper left corner. Here you will find the sub-item "Account". There you will find on the right side "Change product key". Enter the key here and restart the computer if prompted.
