To resolve the issue with redeeming your Microsoft 365 product key purchased in India, follow these steps:
- Check Regional Settings: Ensure that your Microsoft account region is set to India, which you have already done. Sometimes, it may take a little while for the changes to reflect.
- Use the Correct Redemption Link: Use the official Microsoft link for redeeming product keys. You can find it by searching for "redeem Microsoft 365 product key" on the Microsoft website or directly in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
- Verify Product Key: Double-check that the product key you received is entered correctly. Ensure there are no typos or incorrect characters.
- Contact Microsoft Support: If the product key is still not recognized, it may be best to contact Microsoft Support directly for assistance. They can provide specific help regarding product key issues and account settings.
- Consider Expired Subscription: Since your previous subscription expired, ensure that it is not affecting the redemption of the new product key. Sometimes, expired subscriptions may cause issues with new activations.
If you continue to experience issues, it may be necessary to escalate the matter with Microsoft Support for further investigation.
