No, unfortunately we cannot help - everything "Microsoft Office" is controlled by Microsoft.
This includes your Office Software licensing and activation.
Chances are good that HP cannot help - licensing Office is controlled by Microsoft and not HP.
If the license has been used / activated, Microsoft has a record of the activation and the license type.
Your best (perhaps only) option is to contact Microsoft Office Support and convince them you own the license to the Office Software.
Things that are Office
Microsoft Office is a licensed product controlled and owned by Microsoft.
We can help to the extent of providing information to help you understand your options.
Microsoft Office - Product and License Information
Please Read
Installation and License Key Options
Some of the ways to “get” Office Software:
- Trial Software that comes with the computer. An "offer" to try the software, in other words. The license is NOT included in Trial offers.
- Purchase Microsoft Office when you purchase your computer
Look for your license key with your purchase paperwork.
- Receive a “free one year subscription to Office 365 when you purchase the computer (quite rare).
If you have trouble with this exact type of “installed” Office before it has expired,
Contact HP Support for recovery options.
- Purchase Office separately from Microsoft or other merchant.
