A product key, also known as a software key, is a specific software-based key for a computer program.

It certifies that the copy of the program is original.

Activation is sometimes done offline by entering the key, or with software like Windows 8.1, online activation is required to prevent multiple people using the same key.

Not all software has a product key, as some publishers may choose to use a different method to protect their copyright, or in some cases, such as free or open source software, copyright protection is not used.

Installation (or setup) of a computer program (including device drivers and plugins), is the act of making the program ready for execution.

Because the process varies for each program and each computer, programs (including operating systems) often come with an installer, a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation.

Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process.

Microsoft Office is an office suite of applications, servers, and services developed by Microsoft.

It was first announced by Bill Gates on 1 August 1988, at COMDEX in Las Vegas.

Initially a marketing term for a bundled set of applications, the first version of Office contained Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint.

Over the years, Office applications have grown substantially closer with shared features such as a common spell checker, OLE data integration and Visual Basic for Applications scripting language.

Microsoft also positions Office as a development platform for line-of-business software under the Office Business Applications brand.

On 10 July 2012, Softpedia reported that Office is used by over a billion people worldwide.

Product activation is a license validation procedure required by some proprietary computer software programs.

Product activation prevents unlimited free use of copied or replicated software.

Unactivated software refuses to fully function until it determines whether it is authorized to fully function.

Activation allows the software to stop blocking its use.

An activation can last "forever", or it can have a time limit, requiring a renewal or re-activation for continued use.

Tips is the latest of a series of tutorial hubs in Microsoft Windows that provides information about using features.

Information is presented as screenshots, text descriptions, videos, and web links.

As Windows upgrades have traditionally been drastic, each version since Windows 95 has had its own tutorial app, and the name has changed frequently.

Notably, the feature list shown has tended to expand as newer versions of Windows are released and the most recently released tutorial receives updates through the Windows Store, allowing it to receive updates more frequently than Windows itself is upgraded.
