Office 2024 for Mac is a one-time purchase that installs the classic desktop apps — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote — on macOS. Unlike a Microsoft 365 subscription, you pay once and own that version. This guide takes you from the product key in your inbox to a fully activated install on your Mac.

Open setup.office.com (or account.microsoft.com) in Safari, sign in with your Microsoft account, and enter the 25-character product key from your purchase email. This links the Office 2024 licence permanently to that account.
From the same Microsoft account page, choose your Office product and click Install. macOS downloads a .pkg installer file (a few hundred MB) to your Downloads folder.
Double-click the downloaded .pkg file and follow the macOS installer. It places the Office apps in your Applications folder automatically — no per-app downloads needed.
Open any app, for example Word. When prompted, sign in with the same Microsoft account you used to redeem the key. Office checks the linked licence and activates automatically.
In any Office app, open the app menu (e.g. Word > About Word) or go to the account area and confirm it shows an activated, licensed product rather than a trial.

No. Office 2024 for Mac is a one-time purchase — you pay once and own that version, with security updates but no new feature upgrades. A Microsoft 365 subscription is the alternative if you want continuous upgrades and cloud storage.
Office 2024 for Mac supports the three most recent macOS versions and runs natively on both Apple Silicon (M-series) and Intel Macs. Check that your macOS is up to date before installing.

Yes. KeyVano delivers software licenses to Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Delivery is instant by email everywhere, prices are the same for all countries, and the license keys work worldwide without regional locks.
