The license is delivered as a 25-character product key, redeemed at setup.office.com, and bound to the Microsoft account used during redemption. The activation record survives a clean install of Windows and a supported hardware change, which makes the Microsoft account binding the more flexible option for users who expect to upgrade their PC during the lifetime of the license. The rest of this page covers the included applications, the activation flow, who this edition is built for, the system requirements, and the licensing details that determine whether a Microsoft-account-bound Pro Plus key is the right match for your setup. The Microsoft account binding keeps the Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher, and OneNote install recoverable through sign-in after a clean Windows reinstall or a supported hardware change. 📊 💼\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Included and How Activation Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the order is confirmed, the buyer receives a 25-character \u003ca href=\"\/products\/microsoft-office-2021-home-amp-student-bind-1-pc\"\u003eOffice 2021\u003c\/a\u003e Professional Plus product key.
