My computer is continusly asking me to sign into my microsoft 365 account through outlook or in settings. I put my password in, then 30 minutes later it asks for it again. Today I got the error message 29 stating it could not update my license. I checked to make sure it was active and my billing was updated and all was good. Please advise.

    I signed up for Copilot pro today, hoping to use it in the Microsoft 365 apps. However, I was unable to activate my license and I received an error message saying Error Code: 29. I checked that my Windows 11 was up to date, but the issue persisted.

    I am very disappointed with this situation, as I was looking forward to using Copilot in my work. I would appreciate it if you could help me resolve this problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will have to cancel my subscription and request a refund.

    I have the same problem with the product being disabled and I can not activate. there are plenty of screen shots of this. I can use 365 from the web.

    I ended up having to google

    "Reset activation status of Microsoft 365 Apps for business"

    to find the English version of the link provided...

    I was a little creeped out by using a a translated website, and wanted to make sure I wasn't being taken for a ride,

    But I fount the English page, and downloaded the link and it worked, after a week or so of fighting with it it worked! Thank you so much!!!
