Contact Microsoft Support for an Email Reset
Since there is no automated way to fix this, you must reach out directly to Microsoft's support channels to request an email reset for your enrollment.
The Microsoft Workplace Discount Program securely links your corporate eligibility to a personal Microsoft account. If you input the wrong personal email, the system locks the association to prevent fraud. Only a Microsoft support agent can unlink the incorrect address.
Navigate to the official Microsoft Support website (support.microsoft.com/contactus) and log in with the Microsoft account you intend to use.
Choose 'Microsoft 365' or 'Office' as the product category, then select 'Billing & Account Profile questions' from the provided options.
Type 'Speak to an agent' in the help chat or select the option to contact support directly. Ask the representative to clear the incorrect email associated with your Workplace Discount Program eligibility.
Consult Your Employer's IT or Benefits Administrator
Your company's IT department or benefits coordinator manages the corporate side of the program and may be able to reset the enrollment link.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I manually update my personal email in the Microsoft Workplace Discount Program?
No, currently there is no self-service option for end-users to correct a wrongly entered personal email address. You must contact Microsoft Support or your employer's program administrator to have it manually reset.
What information do I need to provide to Microsoft Support?
Be prepared to provide your corporate email address, your employee ID or company domain, and the incorrect personal email address you accidentally entered during the initial setup attempt.
Why is my personal email required for the Workplace Discount Program?
While your corporate email verifies your eligibility through your employer, the discounted subscription itself must be tied to a personal Microsoft account for privacy and post-employment billing continuity.
Will my employer know what personal email I entered?
Your employer can see that your corporate email was used to claim a discount, but they generally do not have access to manage or view the specific personal Microsoft account details linked to your subscription.
