Due to Coast Guard I.T. Department's policies on outside e-mails, any CG member will never get the validation e-mail that will allow them to purchase the Office products of their choosing through the Home Use Program.

You basically have to grit your teeth and contact Microsoft for help using the guide I posted earlier (below).Also, please be patient and don't take it out your frustration on the technician you get because the problem is solely with the Coast Guard's I.T. Department who are unwilling to unblock validations e-mails from Microsoft which the Microsoft technician cannot do anything about but use a workaround that takes time.(Updated 18 August 2018): D47F29C596, based on John's helpful below.4.

He covered exactly what to do if the Microsoft Home Use Program code you were provided by your military branch isn't working. I’ll just copy and paste because he explains it all so clearly on what to do if your Microsoft Office military HUP code doesn’t work:Some service branches have multiple program codes as you may have noticed with the Coast Guard one.

Also some joint commands like SOCOM (@socom.mil) might or might not work. For members of those commands joint commands – think the military term is purple — use your service branch’s e-mail address if the joint command one does not work i.e.

Army (@mail.mil), Navy (@navy.mil), Marines (@usmc.mil), Air Force (@us.af.mil).Best advice for folks who work in government (state or local) or the military is to contact Microsoft Technical Support if the program codes don’t work for you. The agents that you can get in touch with can validate for you the work e-mail address and if not working they will help you out to get the Office products purchased and installed FOR FREE! They can figure out which program code to use actually.Option 1:Phone: 1-800-936-5700 or 1-800-642-7676 (Microsoft Technical Support for North America)NOTE: You first have to answer a robot some basic questions and then you get a live person. To shortcut the process say this: “I have a problem with the Office Professional Plus 2019 product from the Home Use Program. I can’t purchase Office.” and in a perfect world you usually get a live person after that. Long wait time though since there are only a small number of people that support these kinds of products.Option 2:Contact chat support.NOTE: Chat requires a Microsoft Account.

Click the link above and in that link click the box that says “Get Started” and you then first have to answer a robot a series of questions and use the same spiel as when contacting Microsoft by phone.

Check this link on how to create a.Once you get a real person via phone or chat, please be very specific and patient with them.

Say you’re buying Office through the Home Use Program and provide your government or military e-mail address and they can take it from there. If the program code does not work tell the technician right away.THANK YOU JOHN! This should help a LOT of people out.This is a great deal for back to school savings.

June 12, 2019 at 15:46Just an FYI update on the Microsoft HUP. After about 5 days at 4-5 hours per day, I begin by explaining everything up front. They transfer me around. Each time I have to explain it over again.

Each time I have to reenter my email address. Each time I have to forward it out to a civilian email, then close out enterprise and allow them remote access to my civilian email. After a few hours, They tell me to call the DOD and have them enable links. I ask for a supervisor. I go through this process again. Another day wasted.

This last time, I told them up front if they ask me to enter my email address again that I just want a supervisor. When I got that guy, I explained the situation again. He told me to go enter my email address on the HUP website, so I asked for his supervisor.

I get this new guy, explain everything to him. He tells me to enter my email address on the HUP website. I ask for HIS supervisor and he said, “no.” He demanded I got to the website. He tells me to enter my email again, so I do. He then tells me to click the link in the email.

I ask for his supervisor and he says, “no.” He then tells me to call the DOD and have them allow links in my emails. I tell him I doubt that SECDEF is going to take my call, and he says that my S-6 can do this. My S-6 told me previously that Microsoft is full of crap. I ask him for his supervisor and he still says no. He then tells me to go back to the website and try again.

I try to explain, but he cuts me off and starts with, “this is how it’s supposed to work” at this point I lost it and yelled over him that I want to speak to his supervisor. I did not insult him, nor did I use profanity. He told me I was abusive and now my number is blocked. June 10, 2019 at 11:02@Spencer: Just an FYI for you and your readers here.

The move to Office 365 has a huge problem right now that some have already reported here. The e-mail you get after typing in your.mil e-mail address in has all the links disabled as per DOD policy which stops you cold from being able to purchase the discounted Office products.To add insult to injury, Microsoft technical support is going to tell you to contact your I.T. Department which is quite ridiculous because from what I understand DOD will not unblock e-mails and you folks end up in a Catch-22 situation.My advice to everyone is if Microsoft technical support tells you to contact your I.T. Department is to demand for a manager and to have your case elevated to higher level of support. Explain to them the DOD policy on e-mails and how it’s impossible to just ask I.T. To unblock e-mails. Specify that you’re from the U.S.

Military and that some of Microsoft engineers know about this issue and thus why you’re demanding to be elevated to higher level of support. Use the contact information I’ve posted here in the past.Be persistent and patient.

This is a problem that has no easy solution either from Microsoft’s end or from DOD’s end. May 17, 2019 at 13:50I am an with the US Army National Guard. So, I don’t have government computer. I have tried to get the Microsoft Home Use Program through my @mail.mil account; however, when the button link is sent, it is disabled and no URL is available to confirm my email address. The Outlook web app gives me this messageAll active links contained in this email were disabled. To the point that the link in the button is non-existent, so I can’t cut and paste to another web page. Any ideas for how to get around this.

I have called Tech Support at Microsoft Office and they keep telling me to get your IT guy to fix this. March 22, 2019 at 18:35@Spencer:About this statement above: “Office Professional Plus 2019 is compatible with Windows 10, 8/8.1 and 7.”It’s actually only for Windows 10. If you have Windows 7 or 8.1 you can only use Office 365 or 2016 and lower. See:Additionally Office Home & Business 2019 — supposedly the Mac version offered in HUP — can actually be used either in a PC or a MAC. Refer to link above.So if you buy both offers you get two copies of Office 2019. Useful for people with atleast 2 Windows computers.

February 8, 2019 at 08:38@Spencer:Got some slightly bad news for you and folks who are availing of the Home Use Program.The Home Use Program is undergoing a change in the next few months wherein instead of being offered an over 90% discount on Office products. You will instead be offered a 30% discount.In addition instead of the the perpetual versions of Office i.e. 2019, 2016, etc., etc., you will be offered Office 365, the subscription version of Office i.e. Pay a yearly or monthly fee to be able to use Office.This is already happening for HUP outside of the U.S. January 3, 2019 at 19:23I’m Army.

I used my email address. I’ve tried purchasing Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 through HUP twice now using Program Code: ABAD560AD0. I’ve failed twice. Both times, I received this message:“We are sorry, but we are unable to complete your request. We are reviewing your purchase at this time. You will receive a confirmation email with your Product Key as well as download instructions when our review has been completed. Please allow 4 to 6 hours for our review to be completed before inquiring about the status of your order.

We recommend that you write down or print your Order Number for future reference.”I’ve been on the phone with Microsoft Office Technical Support for more than 2 hours. Ready to rip my hair out at this point. After cancelling the first order and repurchasing, I received the same message above. My case has now been escalated to Tier 2 Technical Support because the Program Code I used doesn’t match the billing address country (USA) or something?

I’m currently awaiting a call back from Tier 2 Technical Support within 3-5 business days.Taking any and all suggestions. November 19, 2018 at 06:54@Ann: It actually does work provided you get the right representative and have tons of patience.

The problem is getting a knowledgeable technician to help you out in this scenario since only a small amount of people at Microsoft know this problem.My advice will be the same as what I told Andy below, if all else fails ask for a supervisor and demand to be escalated to higher level of support. That should get you the help you need. Bottom line refuse to be turned away or referred to the I.T.

Department citing DOD policy. Grit your teeth and be persistent. If you have a service request number with Microsoft tech support, demand to be escalated to higher level of support. October 30, 2018 at 13:09@Andy: A little white lie by saying “I already have contacted them and they can’t do anything about it” or cite DOD policy which the I.T.

People will use as a reason why they won’t help you. That usually gets you the help you need from the Microsoft technician. You can also quote the “Coast Guard” portion of Spencer’s post above and replace Coast Guard with your branch of service and that will usually get you the help you need.

If all else fails ask that technician that you want to talk to a supervisor. That should get you the help you need. Bottom line refuse to be turned away or referred to the I.T.

Grit your teeth and be persistent. October 4, 2018 at 10:22Hi,If you can add this in the information for the Coast Guard program code:If your a member of the Coast Guard you need to call or chat with Microsoft Support. Due to Coast Guard I.T. Department’s policies on outside e-mails, any CG member will never get the validation e-mail that will allow them to purchase the Office products of their choosing through the Home Use Program.

August 17, 2018 at 14:24You can call Microsoft support at 1-800-936-5700 (North America) or contact chat support at (Note: You’ll chat with a robot first and then after a few answers your get a live person). They assist with re-installation issues for free.If you want to do it yourself just make sure the computer that had Office before is not online anymore or dead and then install Office on the new computer you want it on using the product key and download link you got when you first purchase Office.If you lost access to the key and download link your last hope is to contact Microsoft. Provide them you.gov or.mil e-mail address, your complete name and program code and they’ll get you the key and download link. They will support you for free. September 12, 2018 at 01:56Sure. If I could ask for a small favor though I need to correct that post you published above here’s the corrected version:Some service branches have multiple program codes as you may have noticed with the Coast Guard one. Also some joint commands like SOCOM (@socom.mil) might or might not work.

For members of those commands joint commands – think the military term is purple — use your service branch’s e-mail address if the joint command one does not work i.e. Army (@mail.mil), Navy (@navy.mil), Marines (@usmc.mil), Air Force (@us.af.mil).Best advice for folks who work in government (state or local) or the military is to contact Microsoft Technical Support if the program codes don’t work for you.

If the program code does not work tell the technician right away. July 19, 2018 at 17:30All, I have to squelch my initial glee; like a big dope I mistakenly purchased Project 16 instead of Office 16.For my Navy home-port site only Project and Visio are available through the HUP, even though there is an announcement banner for Office.go figure. So, while the Navy code works it appears the HUP offer is presently half-baked and missing Office 16.Still, it’s a good deal for both, but I really hope the Navy didn’t make a mistake with the new contract, accidentally leaving Office off the buy. April 25, 2018 at 21:38The discount isnt to help the service member, its to help the units.

The benefit is for AD because the various branches use MS Office products in day to day activities. To facilitate the proficiency of the AD members in MS Office suite, they came up with this program get more members using it at home. This would in turn improve their usage at work, theoretically. Like many benefits, some are limited to time of service, and more recent veterans/retirees who utilized this benefit before separating should still benefit, but wont be able to acquire any new licenses. July 23, 2018 at 17:34thanks for all the hard work Spencer.

Does anyone know how to remedy an oversight, I accidentally put in my code for visio and project manager package instead of the Microsoft home and student. I caught myself before purchasing it and went back and applied for the home and student but now the new link also takes me to visio and project manager program. I tried a different code as well and it still gives me a link to purchase visio or project manager. Any help will be awesome.
