A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.
Doing this has fixed all of ours. There is one more thing that helps. Click on Windows key. start typing to bring up search. In that search, top right you will see your account. Verify your account there. That is the last thing that helps. But the below has been necessary for tough cases.
The most effective fix for office licensing that I have found:
Logout of:
Word
Teams
OneDrive
Edge
Credential manager:
Delete all Windows Credentials.
Registry:
Delete:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity
Files to remove:
Delete the Licenses and Licensing folders at:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Office\Licenses
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Licensing
Reboot.
Give the computer a minute at boot.
Teams should automatically start.
Logon to it first.
Wait 30+ Seconds. Continue to chat with our client.
Open OneDrive
Sign in. Use the current folder.
Wait another 30+ seconds while OneDrive syncs
Chat with our client. They don’t bite. :O)
Open Edge
Logon to Office online
I use portal.office.com
Sign them in and then use the Waffle
Open Word and open a blank document.
Choose to edit it in the Desktop App.
As it opens the Desktop app it should
Ask you to activate office and succeed in
Licensing it. There are a couple of cases
Where I had to do this twice. The first time
It said it updated office and to close out of
Word/Office. Closed and tried again and it worked.
This method has been super reliable for me. 99% of the time.
The one more thing is to verify our account in Windows search listed at the top of this post.
Any suggestions or other methods you have found to work?
