When trying to install MSOffice 2024 using the product key that i purchased, I continually receive the error "service unavailable" - the product key appears to be recognised but I have tried for 3 consecutive days without making any further progress

Microsoft 365 and Office | Install, redeem, activate | For home | Windows

    Hello.

    where did you purchase this key? Are you trying to redeem it for the first time? Or is this not the first time you’re installing? Do you have the full name of the product, such as office 2024 pro plus or office 2024 home?

    It's office 2024 standard home purchased from ElectonicsFirst. They delivered the product key as expected but i keep seeing the same error (despite clearing the cache, trying private and a couple of other suggestions).

    It's hard to believe the same service error would recur continuously over many days.

    If the actual product name is Office Standard 2024, then someone sold you a volume license product (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/ltsc/2024/overview ). These are not consumer (home use) products. You should request your money back from the seller.
