If you are an existing partner who would like to activate your Office 365 product key(s) on your existing online tenant, please sign in BEFORE you activate your Office 365 product key(s). Each product key may ONLY be activated ONCE.

Take the 25 digit token code that you copied from step #6 and enter that in the Product key box. Then click Next.
