I get this message when I open Office 2019. Get Genuine Office you may be a victim of software counterfeiting. Avoid security risks and get genuine office now. When I click on Get Genuine Office it takes me to a Get Office 365 page. My office 2019 is Genuine. Is this a way to sell 365. Is there a way to stop the message.

    You are a gem, dear. Your method eventually worked for me after I had puzzled for an hour with that message and searched all over google. Thanks a gig.

    I can confirm this works, but disables online experience, which is expected behavior at this moment, but not in general. I paid for online documents and forms too, btw.

    I have annual Microsoft 365 Family subscription and latest Office 2019 installed offline.
