How do I access Microsoft 365 after purchase?
If you are wondering how to access Microsoft 365 after purchase, sign in at microsoft365.com with the work account linked to your subscription. After that, you can open your apps from the Microsoft 365 home page or sign in directly inside an installed app.
The Microsoft 365 sign-in steps are straightforward:
- Go to the sign-in page. Open microsoft365.com and select Sign In. Many users also start from office.com.
- Enter your work credentials. Use the email address and password provided for your business account.
- Open your apps. After signing in, use the app launcher to access Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, OneDrive, and other services.
- Use desktop apps if needed. If Office is installed on your computer, open Word or Excel, go to Account, and sign in with the same business account.
- Complete first-time setup. On the first login, you may be asked to update your password before using the subscription.
For business users, Microsoft 365 login access depends on the account and licence assigned by the administrator. If sign-in does not work, the most common issue is that the user has not yet been given the correct Microsoft 365 Business licence.
