What you get

Standard 2024 vs Professional Plus 2024 vs Home & Business 2024

Standard has the same five apps as Microsoft's retail Home & Business 2024, but it is a volume licence: it activates with a key rather than a Microsoft account, and one key can cover 3 or 5 PCs, which retail licences cannot. Professional Plus 2024 adds Access for the same one-PC price. If you use a Mac, you need Home & Business 2024. The Office 2024 editions guide compares all four.

How installation and activation work

1. Pay, and the email arrives with your key and the download link.
2. Uninstall any older Office first, then restart.
3. Run the installer (Microsoft's Office Deployment Tool, configured for Standard 2024); it downloads Office from Microsoft's servers.
4. Open Word, File > Account > Activate Product, enter the key. Phone activation is available if online activation is blocked.

Screenshots, checksums and error fixes are in the Office Standard 2024 install guide.
