The same one-time key activates Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher, and OneNote on up to five Windows PCs in the same household, small business, or workgroup. The activation record is local to each install rather than bound to a Microsoft account, which keeps the install experience simple and avoids the need to sign in to a Microsoft service for activation. 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 5 PC retail online key is the right match for your setup. Every PC in the household, small business, or workgroup ends up with the same full Pro Plus lineup — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher, and OneNote — from a single 25-character key, with the activation record stored locally on each machine. Your key is sourced from authorized Microsoft channels, delivered to your account dashboard the moment payment clears, and backed by a 7-day replacement-or-refund warranty along with real human support if anything goes wrong. 💼 📊\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.
