I have Office pro 2016 and Outlook does not work

I wondered if I just put the licence key in again it might rework? But I cannot find where I put the licence key

Do you require anything further from me?

Denys Kashnytskyi

I have some questions!:)
Did you try to redeem this key?

Customer Replay

What do you mean "redeem". I have Office Pro 2016 set up on my PC and then one day Outlook stopped working and I have to get my emails online - while this is okay it is not preferable. Now I am wondering if I just re-enter the key Outlook might come to life again. But I could not find where to enter the key so have not been able to prove it.

Denys Kashnytskyi

I am so sorry! Do you have this key?

Customer Replay

Yes.

Denys Kashnytskyi

Okay!:) Thank you.

Customer Replay

So, how do I re-enter it?

Denys Kashnytskyi

Do you have Microsoft account?

Customer Replay

Not now. I used to have one years ago when I used Office 365

Denys Kashnytskyi

Thanks.
Let us try this way:

Step 1: Go to www.office.com/setup
Step 2: Sign in with your Microsoft account, or create one if you don't have one. Be
sure to remember this account so that you can install or reinstall Office later, without a product key.
Step 3: Enter your product key, without hyphens, if prompted. If you don't see the option to enter your product key, it was entered for you automatically.

Customer Replay

Okay I will try this.

Denys Kashnytskyi

Let me know the result!:)
Step 4: Follow the prompts to finish the redemption process.

Customer Replay

Thanks. All good now.
