Since upgrade my Office 2013 software to Office 2106, I am seeing this error in the Windows 10 Event Log
Event 0, Office 2016 Licensing Service

This error normally occurs daily, generated by Microsoft installed Task Scheduler task 'Office Subscription Maintenance' being run. I've also manually run this task at different times of the day in case the problem is an overloaded license server. No luck, always fails
Is this something additional I need to accomplish to "reset" something on my computer so it goes to the correct server to validate my license?

Useless! I have to do this Everyday? For how long? A week? A year? This DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM!
So,
No reply from Microsoft?
I have upgrade 3 devices to Office 2016 under my Office 365 subscription and I have the same error showing up on all three devices. Did the online repair and reboot routine as well without an improvement, error still shows up. Office 2016 shows as licensed on all three devices and I runs without issue, but I hope there is not a certain grace period that will kick in at some point.
I have the same issue and the same result with the reinstall suggestion. The error is still there. tho I can run office just fine.
