How to Use Microsoft 365 Family Key/Personal Key(Global, TW/HK, VN/A, EU, or similar regions)

- Product is a key format: XXXXX-XXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX and can be used globally without country restrictions.
- However, when entering the key at setup.office.com, if the key is Global, VPN is not required; otherwise, a VPN must be used for the corresponding country.

Step 1: Activate VPN

- Use extensions like Hola VPN, Urban VPN, or software like Avira Phantom VPN.

Step 2: Check VPN

- Turn on VPN, select the country matching the key, and verify IP address at whatismyipaddress.com.

Step 3: Enter Key

- Go to setup.office.com and enter the key.
- Each key has a fixed subscription duration (e.g., 3, 6, 12, or 15 months). If using the same key type on one account, the total subscription period can be accumulated up to 5 years.
Note: If the account already has a subscription from a different country key, you must wait for it to expire before activating a new country key.
The Global Key can be entered and stacked with all other key types without needing to wait for the previous Microsoft 365 subscription to expire.

Step 4: Complete

- Once activated successfully, you can disable or remove the VPN and use Microsoft 365 globally.
