Now it’s time to activate your license — the most crucial step.
Launch Microsoft Project 2024 Professional from the Start Menu.
When prompted, select “Activate Office” or “Change Product Key”.
Enter your Bind Key License exactly as provided (e.g., XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX).
Click Activate.
Wait for Microsoft’s activation server to verify your license.
Once verified, you’ll see:

💡 Note: The “Bind” license means it’s permanently linked to your Microsoft account — ensuring authenticity and protection from unauthorized reuse.
To sync your license and enable cloud-based features:
Click File → Account → Sign In.
Enter your Microsoft account credentials.
Once logged in, your license will be digitally linked (bound) to your account.
This ensures that even if you reinstall Windows in the future, your product remains easily reactivated.

If activation fails, don’t panic — it’s often due to network or account syncing issues.
Try the following:
Ensure your internet connection is stable.
Log out and back into your Microsoft account.
Disable temporary VPN or proxy connections.
Run Windows Update, then restart and retry activation.
If the issue persists, contact Microsoft Support and provide your activation ID (visible under File → Account → Product Information).
