Ok thank you very much for helping me out. But what's the difference between HWID Activation and normal activation thank you

Hi @Walter Lann

Is it a retail version?

• If so, but if you do not redeem the key, bound the key with your Microsoft account? It's recommended to log in to the following website. Setup Office - Office 365 Redemption
• After binding your Microsoft account with the Office license, you can download and install it directly from the Subscriptions page.

Or if it is a volume license version, Office Professional Plus LTSC 2024, and you have a MAK key, then you need run ODT with configuration file (.xml) to install it.

• For more, you may refer to: Deploy Office LTSC 2024.

Any further issues, please feel free to post back.

Hi @vinod sharma,  

Good day! Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum and sharing the details of your issue.  

Regarding the installation of Office 2024 Professional Plus, I understand you already have a product key but are unable to complete the setup. This version is part of the Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024 (Volume License) suite, and installation requires using the Office Deployment Tool (ODT).  

• Firstly, you need to download the Office Deployment Tool (ODT), you can obtain it directly from Microsoft’s Download Center. Kindly refer Microsoft official document: Download Office Deployment Tool from Official Microsoft Download Center 
• After that, create a configuration file: save the following as configuration.xml in the same folder as setup.exe. Replace the sample key with your own:

• Note: For the PIDKEY, replace #####-#####-#####-#####-##### with your MAK client activation key. 
• Then please open Command Prompt as Administrator, navigate to the ODT folder, and run: 
  setup.exe /download configuration.xml 
setup.exe /configure configuration.xml  

Once complete, launch any Office application (like Word or Outlook) to confirm activation with your key. To ensure you have detail information about this, please refer this article: Deploy Office LTSC 2024 - Office | Microsoft Learn.

If you encounter any further issues or error message, please keep me inform I will assist you further.
