Manage your Microsoft 365 subscription
For all Microsoft 365 subscriptions and many newer non-subscription versions of Microsoft 365 (since 2013 and later), your Microsoft 365 product has an associated account. This is the account you use to sign in to Microsoft365.com so you can manage your subscription or install or reinstall Microsoft 365 when needed. Depending on your product, this account is usually a Microsoft account (Hotmail, Outlook.com, Live.com) or a work or school account.
Note: Some products purchased through an employee Microsoft Workplace Discount Program (formerly known as Home Use Program) benefit or volume license versions (managed by an organization's IT department) might not require an account. The information below doesn't apply to these Office versions or Microsoft 365 subscriptions.
