NEW DELHI: ASUS says bundled Microsoft and Windows application benefits on the Vivobook Go 15 E1504F must be redeemed within 90 days of initial device setup. Its India specifications distinguish Office Home 2024, Microsoft 365 Basic cloud storage and a separate trial. Owners should identify the entitlement supplied with their exact variant before accepting a subscription prompt.
| Item to identify | What ASUS lists |
|---|---|
| Family | Vivobook Go 15 E1504F |
| Redemption deadline | 90 days from initial device setup |
| E1504FA Office entry | Office Home 2024 for lifetime |
| Separate cloud benefit | Microsoft 365 Basic, 100GB for one year |
| Separate trial entry | One month for new Microsoft 365 customers, credit card required |
| E1504FAB Office entry | Office Home & Student 2021 |
Read the software row before opening an account prompt
The official specification table separates E1504FA and E1504FAB. Its software row is a reminder that the broad E1504F name is not enough to identify a bundle. Keep the invoice, full model suffix and any written description of the included Office edition together before beginning activation.
For an Indian household setting up a student's laptop, that paperwork deserves the same attention as memory and storage. A family member may complete Windows setup well before the student begins assignments. ASUS starts its stated redemption period at initial device setup, so leaving Office unopened until a term begins can make the timing relevant.
The India store displayed Rs 48,990 for the E1504F family when checked. Price as of 1 November 2026, 00:09 IST. The page's family price is not a separately verified price for every suffix, screen or software combination. It establishes the budget context for this setup guide, rather than a complete variant price list.
Follow the included-licence activation path
Microsoft's official instructions distinguish an included purchase from software that is merely preinstalled as a trial. Open an Office application and read the activation screen. Where an included digital licence is detected, Microsoft says activation uses a Microsoft account and does not require a printed product key.
Choose the account that the laptop's intended user will retain. Microsoft explains that the activated product is added to that account for later reinstallation or subscription management. A useful setup record is the account identity and the Office edition displayed after activation. Keep the password private rather than adding it to the invoice folder.
Follow the on-screen activation wizard if one appears. If the application instead presents a trial or asks for a purchase, compare that message with the bundle promised for the exact unit. A trial screen alone does not establish that the advertised included entitlement has been successfully redeemed.
The cloud year and desktop licence are different entries
ASUS describes Office Home 2024 as a lifetime inclusion in the relevant specification column, while explicitly limiting Microsoft 365 Basic's 100GB storage benefit to one year. Keep those durations separate when recording what was activated. Do not describe the storage allowance as permanent merely because it sits beside the Office entry.
Likewise, the separately listed trial should not be mistaken for the entire software bundle. For a small business preparing a laptop for a new staff member, the sensible handover document identifies each product and its term individually. The person using the machine can then recognise which future reminder concerns a subscription and which concerns an activation problem.
Why the exact Go 15 variant still matters
The E1504F specifications include both anti-glare Full HD and OLED display options. That explains why an OLED-labelled family web address cannot identify every laptop's actual screen. The same principle applies to Office: use the specification column and the full product code, rather than carrying every family-level feature into the description of a particular unit.

If activation fails, retain the exact message and use Microsoft's official guided support. Keep the promised bundle and detected product name in the same record; that gives a support request a concrete mismatch to investigate instead of an ambiguous report that Office is missing.
