Hi Michael,
My problem was solved after restarting/starting SOFTWARE PROTECTION service in windows 8, that service was stopped and its behaviour was Automatic(Delayed Start). So i just start that service and error gone. YOu try this as well.
I got this problem with Excel 2016 running in Windows 10. What do I do? The software was loaded by the manufacturer, Lenovo, and I have no disks.
You are sure that you read the thread?
Especially the *latest* notes?

I'm having this same problem. Has an issue been found?
[UPDATE]
Four days later the same error reoccurs!
The registry settings have not changed since my last fix.
Back to square one :(
[UPDATE]
It seems to work right after I've restarted Windows... very unappreciated and annoying.
I'm still wondering if this is a common problem and what has happened that it hit my machine.
