When Office stops working as expected, start with the shortest official checks before you reinstall anything.
Problem Description: Redeem Office 2024 Product
In a loop - go to redeem the code ([https://setup.office.com/redeem/enter-key?ms.officeurl=setup](https://setup.office.com/redeem/enter-key?ms.officeurl=setup)) hit redeem - goes to either download 64 or download 32 bit, hit either one and page comes up service unavailable. Go back to page where my account is ([https://account.microsoft.com/services?lang=en-US#main-content-landing-react](https://account.microsoft.com/services?lang=en-US#main-content-landing-react)) and the product is not listed. The product code is not redeemed and I am not registered having bought it so I cannot install it from the account page either.

Working with WPS Office: Using WPS While Office Is Unavailable

WPS Office cannot replace Microsoft account, activation, or cloud fixes for this scenario. It remains one of the best free Microsoft Office-compatible alternatives for opening and editing local files.
Download and install WPS Office from the official website.
Open local Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF files in the matching WPS app.
Save a working copy locally while Microsoft-side issues are resolved.
Return to Microsoft Office after the primary fix succeeds.
If you need a practical local workspace in the meantime, try WPS Office.
Prevention Tips for Avoiding Repeat Product Key Issues
Keep one primary Microsoft account for subscriptions and Office sign-in.
Install updates for Office and Windows before retrying failed workflows.
Back up important files before repair, reset, or reinstall actions.
Buy Office from official channels and record the redemption account.

What should I send to Microsoft Support? The affected account email, device type, Office version, exact error text, and screenshots with personal data hidden.
