Compatibility

Last updated: 2026-07-19

Before purchasing, confirm that the licence matches your system. A licence for one edition cannot activate a different edition.

What to check

  1. Operating system: Windows or macOS version (and build) shown on the product page.
  2. Edition:e.g. Windows 11 Pro vs. Home; Office 2024 Pro Plus vs. Home & Business.
  3. Architecture: x64 vs. ARM64.
  4. Hardware: minimum RAM, free disk space, and CPU requirements stated by the vendor.
  5. Existing software: upgrading from an edition that is not eligible for an in-place upgrade may require a clean install.

Region and language

Some editions are region- or language-restricted. The product page lists the activation region and any language limitations.
