I'm using Microsoft 365 with a license that is expiring next month.

Another friend has shared (legally) one of his spare licenses with me, so can I just install the new download over the old install, or must I delete the current 365 install then install the new one?

 

Thanks, in anticipation.

ehm, interesting to find that question here, but still.

 

As far as I know, the license is bound to your account. Depending whether he already added an account would make it more or less difficult to you.

When it expires it usually gives you another 15 days (I think) grace period to renew so you don't have to right away, all you have to do is enter his license to renew and you can do that anytime, you do not have to install or download anything else other then enter the new key, this is just the licensing of the software and nothing to do with the function of the software itself. 

There doesn't seem to be an appropriate forum, other than here! 

Thanks for all the suggestions. 

All I did was to log in to MS365 again. It automatically picked up my credentials, and all is good. No key entry at all. 

Many thanks again..
