Why does Microsoft 365 say my product is unlicensed?

Short answer: Confirm the signed-in account and assigned license before reinstalling Office.

Try these steps

  1. Open the app’s account information and note the email account in use.
  2. Check that this account owns the subscription or has the needed workplace license.
  3. Follow Microsoft’s activation troubleshooter and ask your administrator about business license assignments.

When to ask for help

Never use activation bypass tools or share your product key publicly.
