Set up Office Standard 2024 for Mac

For 1 Mac. Your delivery email has your product key; these are the steps to install and activate.

Before you begin

Checking these first avoids most installation and activation problems.

  • Your macOS version is one Microsoft supports for Office 2024: Apple menu, About This Mac.
  • Any older Office is removed and the Mac has been restarted.
  • The Mac is connected to the internet for the download, installation and activation.

Install and activate

Follow the steps in order.

Keep your product key private. Never post it or send the whole key by email.

  1. Check your macOS version

    Open the Apple menu, About This Mac. Update macOS first if your version is older than the ones Microsoft supports.

  2. Remove older Office versions

    If an earlier Office is installed, remove it and restart, so the new installation starts clean.

  3. Install Office 2024 for Mac

    Download Office with the link in your delivery email, open the installer and keep the internet connection on until it finishes.

  4. Activate with the steps in your guide

    Follow the activation steps in the setup guide we email with your key, then open Word to confirm Office is activated.
