    To activate Microsoft 365 without providing credit card details, you can follow these steps:

    1. Use the Product Key: Since you have already purchased Microsoft 365 and have a product key, you can activate your subscription by entering the product key during the installation process. You can find instructions on how to enter your product key for Microsoft 365 Apps for Business here.
    2. Avoid Automatic Renewal: When activating, ensure that you do not opt for automatic renewal if it prompts you for credit card information. You can manage your subscription settings in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center or your Microsoft account settings after activation.
    3. Manual Renewal: If you prefer not to provide credit card details, you can choose to renew your subscription manually when it expires. This way, you can pay for your subscription without having to enter credit card information during the activation process.

    By following these steps, you should be able to activate Microsoft 365 without providing credit card details for renewal.
