    Thank you for your reply. After a few different agents I was lucky enough to get connected to someone fantastic and shared a comment I found in this thread. She uninstalled the product and re-entered it and it was fixed in about 1 hour.

    I don't know if this is exactly what she did but she was straight into my computer once I shared it.

    Dear all,

    the Error 29 could be solved:

    1). open command prompt as Admin

    2). cd c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\

    3). cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"

    I did the same spending several hours reinstalling MS365 and looking at my copilot pro account. She transferred me to another department and my issue was finally resolved in 15 minutes.

    I had this problem, and it was related to the version that MS thought was installed on my computer. The engineer had to remove references to the older versions of MS Office (2016 and 2019) that were registered on my computer.
