Sign in to Microsoft&#8217;s Services &#038; subscriptions page with any Microsoft account that may have redeemed it; after redemption, reinstall or activate Office with that account instead of entering the same key again. If this involves a WinProKeys order, keep your order email and screenshots for private support. WinProKeys is an independent software key reseller, not Microsoft.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>Office key problems often look like a bad key when the real issue is account binding.
