Fix TokenNotFound Error When Redeeming Office Home 2024 Product Key
Question details
A user is experiencing a 'TokenNotFound' error when attempting to redeem a Microsoft Office Home 2024 product key purchased from a retailer, and neither of the 25-character codes on the receipt work.
- Product
- Microsoft Office Home 2024
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Redeeming a newly purchased Office Home 2024 product key from a retailer receipt.
- Observed behavior
- The system returns a 'TokenNotFound' error during redemption, indicating the product key is not recognized or is mismatched.
Ensure you have your original retailer receipt and the exact 25-character product key clearly visible before attempting to redeem it again.
Verify and Redeem the Correct Product Key Online
Check your receipt for the correct 25-character product key and redeem it directly through the official Microsoft setup page to ensure proper account linking.
The 'TokenNotFound' error typically occurs when a product key is mistyped, invalid, or does not match the specific Office application version you are trying to activate. Redeeming it on the correct portal is crucial.
Carefully check your retailer receipt for the correct 25-character format (XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX).
Open your web browser and go to the official Office setup page at Office.com/setup.
Sign in using the Microsoft account you want to permanently associate with your Office 2024 license.
Enter the 25-character product key exactly as it appears. Do not manually type hyphens if the system auto-populates them.
Once successfully linked, download and install Office directly from your Microsoft account dashboard rather than entering the key into a pre-installed app.
Contact the Retailer for Key Replacement
If neither 25-character code on your receipt works, the retailer may have failed to activate the key at the point of sale.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the TokenNotFound error mean in Microsoft Office?
The 'TokenNotFound' error indicates that Microsoft's activation servers cannot recognize the product key you entered. This usually happens if the key was mistyped, is meant for a different software version, or was not properly activated by the retailer at the time of purchase.
Where should I redeem my Office 2024 product key?
You should redeem your new Office 2024 product key by navigating to Office.com/setup in your web browser, signing in with your Microsoft account, and entering the 25-character code there.
Do I need to enter my product key every time I install Office?
No. Once you successfully redeem the key at Office.com/setup, the license is permanently linked to your Microsoft account. For future installations or reinstalls, you only need to sign in to your Microsoft account to activate the software.
What should I do if my retailer receipt has two 25-character codes?
Try entering both codes carefully at the official Microsoft setup page. Sometimes receipts print internal tracking codes alongside the actual product key. If neither works, the retailer may need to verify the purchase and issue a replacement.
