Microsoft Windows 11

I reset my laptop because it had a hanging issue. When I purchased the laptop, the service engineer created an Outlook account and linked it to Office 365, but he did not provide any license key. After the reset, I was unable to use Office 365. How can I recover the Office 365 license that I was using before?

Hi @Shivaprasad01,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your laptop!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Try these steps:

Check Microsoft Account:

  • Verify if the Office 365 subscription was registered to a Microsoft account (such as the Outlook account created for you).
  • Visit account.microsoft.com and sign in using the account credentials.

Sign Into Office:

  • Open any Office application (Word, Excel, etc.) and try signing in with your Microsoft account.
  • Follow the prompts to activate Office if your subscription is linked to that account.

Check Email for Subscription Information:

  • Search through your emails (especially in the Outlook account) for any confirmation or welcome emails from Microsoft related to Office 365. These may contain details about your subscription.

Contact Microsoft Support:

  • If you're unable to recover your subscription via account verification, contact Microsoft Support for further assistance.
  • Provide them with any relevant account information or purchase details you may have to help identify your Office 365 subscription.

Request Subscription Details:

  • If the subscription was part of a setup by the service engineer or a company purchase, consider reaching out to them for clarification or any records they might have.

I hope this helps.

I contacted the company on their toll-free number, but I was asked to use a callback arrangement via a link. However, the options provided in the link are not suitable for me. How can I contact them directly?
