Her M$ Account is under the same eMail address as the order
was made.  There is no link.

Indeed.  And she has one.

There is NO SIGN of any purchases or subscription in the
last three months.

No sign of a subscription or purchase either.

So, if Lenovo did not put a purchase up in her M$ account,
how is the cab file downloaded suppose to activate a
nonexistent copy of M$ Office?

Would it be better for her if you cancelled her first purchase
of M$O and replaced the order?  Maybe that would actually get
the link up in her M$ Account?

Many thanks,
