Earlier this week, Microsoft released the final version of Microsoft Office 2013 to MSDN and TechNet subscribers. By now many of you might have installed Office 2013 RTM on your Windows 7 and Windows 8 machines. Unlike Office 2010, Office 2013 setup doesn’t ask you enter the product key during the installation.
So, once you complete the installation, you need to enter the key and activate your product.
Office 2013 is compatible with only Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems. Vista and XP users need to upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8 to experience the newest version of Office.
After completing the Office 2013 setup, just follow the given below steps to activate your Office 2013 copy.
Activate your copy of Office 2013
Step 1: Once installed, run Office Word, Excel or any other program. You will immediately see Activate Office dialog.
Step 2: Click Enter a product key instead option, enter the 25 character product key and then click Install button to activate your copy of Office 2013.
Step 3: Click File menu and then click Account to see Product Activated message on the right-hand side.

I took the free update from Windows 7 to Windows 10 which seemed to be working okay for everyday personal operations.
I did NOT receive the 25 character key!
Now, suddenly, each time I open Word or Excel, I get a message saying I have four days to activate Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013.
There is no clear indication of how to do this; only a three step sequence that leads to a dead end: a message saying ACTIVATION NECESSARY.
Incidentally over the years,! I have NEVER signed up for the Professional versions of Office!
Is Microsoft trying to drive users mad?

I have downloaded Office 2013 with SP1 32 bit to a 64 bit HP laptop as part of our volume licensing entitlement.
When I open Word I get a pop-up that says:
Microsoft Word has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
The program does not close automatically. I click the “Close Program” box and then “nothing” – I wait days and I am no further forward.
Help please
Chris

I have set up a Microsoft account and have entered my 25-character product key and this still won’t activate my programs (install). I’m almost sorry I purchased this, when I purchased my computer. This is to be an easy set up, but it’s everything but that.

I purchased an Office 2013 in July of this year and PC World installed it onto my computer at the time of purchase. However I had a problem with the computer and it needed to be set back to factory settings which has resulted in Office 2013 not being on there anymore. I have tried to re activate the 25 digit number but it will not work. Could you please send me instructions how to reactivate this as I need this programme for my work. Thank you in anticipation
