Microsoft Word 2024 Download: How to Install & Activate on Mac

This guide will help you download, install, and activate Microsoft Word 2024 with a bind key on Mac systems. A bind key links your license to your Microsoft account instead of a single machine — so you can reinstall Word any time by simply signing in.

Don’t have a key yet? You can buy a genuine Microsoft Word product key from Flixeasy with instant email delivery, lifetime activation, and no subscription.

What you’ll need

A Microsoft Word bind key — for example an Word 2024 product key . Flixeasy delivers keys by email within seconds.
A Microsoft account — free to create if you don’t have one.
An internet connection for the download and first activation.

Part 1 — Bind the key to your Microsoft account

Step 1 — Open the Microsoft services page

Go to the official Microsoft account page at account.microsoft.com/services.

Step 2 — Sign in

Sign in to your Microsoft account, or create one if needed. This account will hold your Word license permanently, so use one you’ll keep.

Step 3 — Start the redemption

In the Services & subscriptions section, select “Have a prepaid product key? Start using your subscription”.

Step 4 — Click “Get started”

Step 5 — Enter your product key

Type the 25-character key from your Flixeasy delivery email and click Next.

Step 6 — Redeem and confirm

Click Redeem, then Confirm. Your key is now bound to your Microsoft account — you’ll never need to type it again.

Part 2 — Download and install Word ( Mac)

Download the installer

Download the Word installer from Microsoft’s official setup page at setup.office.com, signed in with the same account you used in Part 1. Your redeemed product appears there with an Install button.

Open the downloaded .pkg installer file.
Follow the installation wizard and enter your Mac password when prompted.
Once installed, Word app appear in Launchpad and the Applications folder.
If you’re asked to enter a product key, click Back — you don’t need it, because the key is already bound to your account.

In the window that appears, choose “Sign in or create an account”.
Sign in with the Microsoft account the key was bound to in Part 1.

Word activates automatically. Done — the suite is fully licensed on your device.

Always sign in with the same account you redeemed the key on. Signing in with a different Microsoft account is the number one cause of “unlicensed product” messages after installing with a bind key.
