Hope the above information helps.

I purchased Office 365 Home, Personal, University & Office 2013 on 4 Feb. 2015 but am using my 2007 Office because the 2013 shows in my programs but wants to activate which takes me to 2016 which won't accept my key for 2013.  I do not need to create another Microsoft Account because I have one.
