Quick install, works great, exactly as expected
By Bob K on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2025
I have read that other people have had problems getting this software installed. I'm not sure what their issue is. Within a second of ordering this and completing the checkout, I got a link to download the software and the activation code. I followed the link, downloaded the installer, and ran the install tool. I think the process took 5 minutes at the most. I have bought a similar product on Amazon Marketplace before. It involved several non-intuitive steps and gave me the impression that I might be doing something illegal. This product appears to be directly from Microsoft, but hosted by Amazon. All of the steps gave me the impression that I was totally above board and totally legal. I am a "home" user. To me, that means that on occasion, I need to create an excel spreadsheet or write a letter or something. I could probably use one of the free office suites, but I use some of the functionality that is only in excel. But I don't feel that my use case could justify buying the "Pro" version. As far as I can tell, the home version has all the features that I need and at a fraction of the cost. This is certainly a good value for me.

How To Get Office Running After Install
By Steve Fusco on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024
I have used Microsoft Office on a Mac for years and love it. However, as others have said, to get Office 2024 working was a nightmare. I called tech support yesterday 3 times and was on hold for a total of over 4 hours. I was accidentally disconnected twice after holding for over an hour each time and never spoke to a technical support person. I did finally figure out on my own how to get the software up and running and wanted to share. As others have said, set up a Microsoft account if you do not have one and sign in before you make your purchase. Install went smoothy for me and since others have covered that topic, I will just cover after the install. None of the applications worked after the install. I will share an example of the fix with Word, but this process will need to be done with Excel, One Note and PowerPoint. I opened Word and clicked “Word” in the upper left corner of my Mac. From the pull down I selected “About Microsoft Word.” On the window that pops up it said “License: Not Activated” I then selected “More Info.” From that pop up window I selected “Refresh License.” This will take you to your Microsoft account to sign in. I then got an error code that said “Could Not Refresh License Error Code 44.” Thinking well that was a waste of time, I went on to do other things. About 30 minutes later I thought I would try again and to my surprise instead of the “About Microsoft Word” window saying “License: Not Activated” it said License: Office Home 2024 and everything was working perfectly. Evidentially it takes a few minutes to actually refresh the license. Hope this is helpful and saves someone else the frustration and aggravation I experienced over getting Microsoft Office Home 2024 working.
