Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I see the install button in my Microsoft account?
The install button may be missing if your subscription has expired, you are logged into the wrong account, or your organization's IT administrator hasn't assigned the necessary desktop app licenses to your specific user profile.
Do I need to use the admin portal if I bought the license myself?
No, if you purchased a personal or family Premium subscription directly, you can manage and download your products from the standard consumer Microsoft Account dashboard under 'Services & subscriptions'.
Can I install my Premium products on multiple devices?
Yes, most Microsoft Premium licenses allow you to install the included applications on up to 5 PCs or Macs, 5 tablets, and 5 smartphones simultaneously per user.
