What is an "ACTIVATION KEY CARD" for Office 2013 ?

ok MisterEd, My screenshot below shows what you directed me to.

I then entered the Product key and it took me to the next screen.



Am I going to have to do this each time I use new app in Office 2013 ? Such as Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher etc ?

Activate after reinstalling or moving Office

Office Home & Business, Office Home & Student, and Office Professional can be installed on a single computer. If you try to install and activate these versions of Office on a different computer (owned by you or someone else), or on the same computer after a
hardware change, you might see an error message that you have reached the maximum number of activations.

Note: If you own multiple one-time purchases of Office and are having trouble activating subsequent Office installs, see Change your Office product key.

If you follow the transfer terms in the Software License Terms, you can move Office to a different computer, but you must activate it by phone and then uninstall Office from the original computer.

If you haven't installed Office on another computer yet, follow the instructions in Install Office on your PC or Mac.
