Activating your Microsoft Office 365 account


In order to get started with Microsoft Office 365, you are required to activate your account. The activation consists of a three step wizard. In the first step you have to enter your contact and domain information and in the second step you need to register the administrator information. In the third step you are required to confirm that the summary of the data you entered is correct in order to fulfil the procedure.

Note! All the information you register here will be sent to Microsoft.
