How to Activate Microsoft Office 365
As a Windows computer or laptop user, one of the mandatory applications that must be installed is Microsoft Office. If you have installed it, then you have to make it the full version by activating Microsoft Office 2021, 2019, 2016, 2013, or Office 365 on the laptop.
Microsoft Office has become a mandatory application, because almost all computer users need document processing software. Unfortunately, sometimes Office application programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PPT become unusable for certain reasons.
The main reason that usually causes Microsoft Office to suddenly become unusable is because of activation problems. If Microsoft Office is not active, it will limit the features that can be used, or even not at all. This is normal because Microsoft Office must be activated if you want to continue using it. If you don’t activate it, problems may arise when you want to use it.
What Happens If Microsoft Office Is Not Activated?
After you have installed Microsoft Office on your laptop or PC, the activation process must be carried out. If you have just installed it, then you can continue using it for a trial period, usually 5-30 days.
During the trial period, Microsoft Word, Excel and PPT can still be used even if they are not activated. However, if the trial period has expired, Microsoft Office will no longer be able to be used.
You will not be able to use all Microsoft Office products to type new documents, or edit existing files. Apart from that, the Enter Your Product Key window will always appear and in the document title it says Unlicensed product.
Even though you can’t type and edit document files, you can still use inactive Office to open and print existing document files. If you want to edit the document file again, you have to activate it.
Can Microsoft Office be activated without a product key?
To activate Microsoft Office, you need a product key. However, the price of a Microsoft Office product key is quite expensive, so many users cannot have it.
If you don’t have a product key and want to activate it, you don’t need to worry because this can be done. You can activate Microsoft Office for free without a product key using CMD or an activator application such as KMS Office.
