How to renew your Microsoft 365 subscription

There are two ways you can renew your Microsoft 365 subscription:

  1. Enter a new product key or download code for another year's subscription. See below.

    Tip: Need a code? Go to www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/buy/microsoft-365 to compare plans, buy a subscription, or talk to an expert.

  2. Turn on recurring billing for your existing subscription. Learn how.

    Tip: This will also show you how much renewal will cost.

Important: 

  • If you enter more than one product key, you extend the amount of time for that subscription. Buying or "stacking" more than one product does not increase the number of available installations and does not increase the amount of online storage you get.

  • You can extend the duration of a Microsoft 365 subscription for a maximum of 5 years. Always check you are signed in with the correct Microsoft account when redeeming.

  • For more information, talk to an expert at microsoft365.com/renew.

Tips: 

  • If you have a physical box or card, look inside for your 25-character product key. Your product key might be concealed with silver foil, which you scratch off to reveal the letters and numbers.​​​​​​​ Box and card

    Important: Always check you are signed in with the correct Microsoft account when redeeming.
