Microsoft Office Home 2024 | Classic Apps: Word, Excel, PowerPoint | One-Time Purchase for 1 PC/MAC | Instant Download | Formerly Home & Student 2021 [PC/Mac Online Code]

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.

I haven’t used me laptop for so long. I was under the impression that I needed a new laptop until I found and installed in my MacPro. My laptop has more than 15 years and it’s working great with this Office Software. Btw, price was very good too. I’m so happy with the decision. Functionality is A+

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.

Great to get the immediate digital download of software and it easily installed. I tried to purchase directly from Microsoft site but couldn’t complete the purchase there. I don’t like that I had to create a Microsoft account and login to install the digital download. Back in the day, installing an app allowed optional registration. But I guess it’s needed to apply updates and such.

Not bad so far. I am able to open old docx and xls files from an old computer once I finally installed the same font. You need to be logged in to your Microsoft account or create one and log in to download the exe file to install the software. The download stated that Office 365 was being installed but it was actually Office 2024 being installed. That worried me for a bit because I did not want Office 365. The layout and interface is different than what I am used to but is slowly beginning to make more sense.

This is the perfect program for a retiree. Do not need an annual subscription. Highly recommend it to folks that only need a few programs.

Competitive pricing, I give it five stars because it's Microsoft office and if you've ever used it you know it's great.

Don't buy this unless you are 110% sure that the device that you intend to download it to (redeem the license) will not ever fail. I purchased and redeemed MS 2024 Home Office in Nov 2024, my laptop died in-or-around January 2025. Said device is completed dead, i.e., I can't open it right up and jump through the hoops required to deactivate the license in order to transfer it to another device. I couldn't download MS Home office 2024 b/c I got a message that it (the software I purchased) was being used on another device. It had been downloaded to another device, it was not being used on same for obvious reason. I called MS believing that there was an easy resolution, instead and in short they said...the license code is for one computer and since you can't open your dead computer...tough luck, all you can do is repurchase. MS COULD simply issue a new license code, but they won't. I asked for the Microsoft's policy number that states, in writing, that, in the event of hardware failure, the purchaser is screwed, and Microsoft's response was there is none, but the product's description itself acts as said policy because it states, "one device." I find this immoral, to say the least.
