How To Check if MS Office Activation Was Successfull

Once you have installed Microsoft Office 2013, you can validate that your license has been activated by following these steps: (Note: The screen shots below were taken in MS Office Word, but the process is similar in all Office programs.)

1. Click on File tab.
2. Select Account. On the right-hand side of the screen, you will see the product activation information as displayed below. If you see the words Product Activated, activation was successful. If you don't get this result right away, close the office application you are running, and relaunch the application to check again.

1. If after closing and then re-opening the application you still do not see the Product Activated message,  Then, Office 2013 may not be able to activate properly.
