To use MS Office you have to purchase a yearly subscription - you don't get an activation code. Having purchased a subscription you'll get a Microsoft account and you activate by logging into the account. Thereafter every once in a while when you launch one of the Office apps you may be prompted to log back into your MS account to reactivate.
