    Welcome soner pestemalcioglu!

    Thank you for reaching out. From what you shared, I understand that after purchasing Microsoft 365 Personal, you’re currently unable to sign in to the Office apps on your Mac.

    Before we proceed further, could you please provide a few additional details so we can better narrow down the cause of the issue?

    1. Can you sign in successfully at the Microsoft Account website https://account.microsoft.comusing the same email address?
    2. Do you see any error message or error code when signing in?
    3. Have you previously signed in to a work or school account on this Mac in any Office app, Outlook, Teams, or OneDrive?
    4. Are you able to sign in to Office apps successfully on another device (for example Windows PC or phone)?
    5. Did you install Office from the Mac App Store or from office.com?

    I look forward to your reply so I can assist you further!

    Use these steps to get Microsoft 365 Personal working in the apps:

    1. Confirm the correct account and subscription
      • Go to the Microsoft account Subscriptions page and verify that Microsoft 365 Personal is active and which email address it is associated with.
      • This is the only account that will work to activate the apps.
    2. Sign in on the web first
      • Go to www.microsoft365.com and select Sign In.
      • Sign in with the same email and password that shows the active Microsoft 365 Personal subscription.
      • If sign-in fails here, use the Sign-in helper to diagnose and fix account issues.
    3. Sign in to the Office apps
      • Open any Office app (for example, Word).
      • When prompted, sign in with the same Microsoft account used in step 2 (not a work or school account).
    4. If the apps still do not accept the account
      • Make sure there is not another account tied to the apps:
        • On the web, go to office.com, select your profile, and confirm which account is in use.
      • If the wrong account was used when Office was first installed or activated, sign out in the app, then sign back in with the correct Microsoft account that owns Microsoft 365 Personal.

    If the product was purchased from a store or online retailer and has not been redeemed yet, redeem the product key with a Microsoft account first so that the subscription is associated with that account, then repeat the sign-in steps above.
