    Hi everyone.

    I updated my Microsoft 365 license key this week. It's now 6/26/2024. Microsoft still hasn't provided a solution to the problem (I haven't been able to find one yet). I can't use the 365 applications on my computer.

    Unfortunately, in my country, Microsoft seems to have hidden from customers, i.e. there is no way to talk to support, with a PERSON.

    We are instructed by the answering machine to download an application that is supposed to fix the problem. Sad mistake.

    But I haven't given up the search for a solution here in the community. And I found it in **** this question,](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/error-code-29-when-starting-o365/4b8bc600-affc-492d-aef9-f15b7c994e73?page=1 "answers.microsoft.com") opened by **** [CEtodayon June 15, 2024. The answer was given by William.Y - MSFT.

    I hope it will be useful to everyone who is facing this problem.

    And, I call on Microsoft to work on a solution to this problem, apparently very simple, so that we no longer encounter this small error that greatly inconveniences us.

    Microsoft, we believe in you!

    Hi

    I had the same issue and nothing I did seemed to fix it.

    However, I eventually and rather reluctantly downloaded and ran the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant and this fixed the problem :)

    Hi Rob.

    Thanks for your quick answer. I try this solution yesterday without result.

    I start to believe that this problem with error 29 to activate Microsoft 365 has a various causes. What do you think?

    So, I still ask Microsoft to give us a definitively solution.

    Tank you very much.

    I spoke to one MS tech for several hours reinstalling 365 multiple times with no solution. She transfered me to another department and my problem was fixed in 10 minutes. I think his department maintained user licenses.
