Install Microsoft 365 on Mac

Preparation Before Installation

Before starting the installation, it is recommended to uninstall any previous versions of Office or related applications. This reduces the risk of errors during installation.

Click the button below to learn more about how to uninstall programs.

STEP 1: Visit the Microsoft Office Website

Go to Microsoft’s official website and sign in using your Microsoft 365 account credentials. If you don’t have an account yet, you can purchase a Microsoft 365 Lifetime License for 5 Devices from this link.

STEP 2: Sign In with the Provided Account

Enter the activation account email that was sent to your email, then click Next to proceed.

Enter the password that was sent to your email, then click Sign In to access your Microsoft 365 account.

Enter the current password you used to sign in. Then, create a new strong password of your choice and confirm it to complete the setup.

STEP 3: Install Microsoft 365

Click on “Install Microsoft 365 Apps” to begin the download process. This will redirect you to the installation page where you can proceed with the setup.

Click on “Install Office Apps” to begin the download.

Once the download has completed, open Finder, go to Downloads, and double-click Microsoft Office installer.pkg file (the name might vary slightly).

Tip: If you see an error that says the Microsoft Office installer.pkg can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer, wait 10 seconds and move the downloaded file to your desktop. Hold Control + click the file to launch the installer.

On the first installation screen, select Continue to begin the installation process.

1. Review the software license agreement, and then click Continue.
2. Select Agree to agree to the terms of the software license agreement.
3. Choose how you want to install Microsoft 365 and click Continue.
4. Review the disk space requirements or change your install location, and then click Install.

Note: If you want to only install specific Microsoft 365 apps and not the entire suite, click the Customize button and uncheck the programs you don’t want.

1. Enter your Mac login password, if prompted, and then click Install Software. (This is the password that you use to log in to your Mac.)

1. The software begins to install. Click Close when the installation is finished. If Microsoft 365 installation fails, see What to try if you can’t install or activate Office for Mac.

Launch an app and start the activation process

1. Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock to display all of your apps.
2. Click the Microsoft Word icon (or another Microsoft 365 or Office icon) in the Launchpad.

If you’re already signed in with an account, click on “Change” to switch accounts. If not, simply sign in with your Microsoft account credentials.

Enter the email you received from us to complete the activation process.

Enter the password you set earlier to complete the activation and sign in to your Microsoft 365 account.

After logging in, make sure to uncheck the option “Allow my organization to manage my device”, then select “No, this app only” to proceed with the activation.

Accept the Microsoft 365 License Agreement to complete the activation process.

Click on “Close” to complete the activation process. You can now start using your Microsoft Office apps.

You’re All Set!
