    Hello, I'm Quinn and here to help!

    No, unfortunately, Microsoft Office product keys must be redeemed in the country or region where they were purchased. If the license has already been activated in India, then you’re good to go, Office will continue to work in the UAE without any issues, and you can keep using it on the same device.

    However, if the key has not been activated yet, you will need to redeem it while your Microsoft account region is set to India or have someone in India redeem it for you. Once it’s activated, you can use it anywhere. You can try redeeming the key from the UAE, but there is a chance you may receive the error: “This product key isn’t meant for your region.” If that happens, I recommend contacting Microsoft Support: https://support.microsoft.com/home/contact

    No. Office product keys must be redeemed in the same country or region where they were purchased.

    If Office Home 2024 was purchased in India, the product key must be redeemed while in the India region. If the error message "This product key isn't meant for your region" or "This product couldn't be activated because the product key can only be activated in certain geographic regions" appears when trying to redeem or activate it in the UAE, this indicates the regional restriction applies.

    For assistance with this situation, contact Microsoft support: https://support.microsoft.com/contactus/
