Worked for me - easy install - followed others recommendations
By jkl1026 on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024
It took me more time to read the reviews than it did to install. Make sure you have a working Microsoft account before purchasing/beginning would be my biggest recommendation. From there, I simply purchased, then followed the links within my Amazon account to install the download. Yes, initially, the software does not install on your computer. Instead, it downloads an installer. You must click the download to initiate the installation on your computer. Did that, agreed to all the T&C, opened up Excel, and yes, it gave me the message that I needed to buy Microsoft 365 before I could create or edit anything. I clicked on it, per advice from another reviewer, and it takes you to your Microsoft account sign-in, where there is an option that says "already purchased" - click that. Once you enter your email, you're up and running! Apple "Numbers" was KILLING me after being an Excel user my whole life. I couldn't stand it any longer (made the switch from PC to Mac about a year ago) and I know I will be way less frustrated since I know Excel like the back of my hand. Recommend!

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.
