I bought an Office 365 Family subscription today from the Microsoft website and it won't download to my Imac. What is wrong?

I purchased today an annual subscription to Microsoft Office 365 Family from the Microsoft website, but it will not install as it says the developer is not recognised. How do get to actually install Office 365 Family for Mac?

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

Upgrading from Microsoft 365 personal to Microsoft 365 family I have got a running subscription for Microsoft 365 personal on my MacBook Air, and I would like to upgrade to Microsoft 365 family..Is this possible?..If yes..What is the process.... I contacted Microsoft and they said since I got the 365 package through the app store, apple is to sort it out. Apple on the other hand is saying it is a Microsoft product so they cannot be of help...Really weird.

Microsoft Office Compatibility I previously purchased Office 2011 for my MacBook. My office has had a 365 subscription. I no longer have that job so I need the previously paid version on my computer. Now, whenever I try to use office its saying I need a subscription. I've deleted the suite from my computer and erased all information connected to 365. I went to the link from my original Office purchase and downloaded the the suite again. I still am getting the same error message of needing a 365 subscription. Please help. Thank you.
