    Same here - my wife was fine using her share of 365 on her laptop earlier this morning UK time, but now all Office apps show as expired/unlicenced.

    My account/subscription details clearly show her as being a valid 'sharer'

    Maybe a windows update has screwed things up (again)?

    thanks for your concern

    i found the reason why office family licensing problem occured.

    followings are the answers from microsoft.

    Title: Some users may be unable to access Microsoft 365 services

    User impact: Users with Microsoft 365 Family subscriptions may have been unable to access Microsoft 365 services.

    Final status: We reverted the change that was causing impact and refreshed the service-side caching. We’ve confirmed through telemetry that impact was successfully remediated. Users should refresh their browser or restart the application to ensure the client-side caches are updated.

    Start time: Thursday, April 10, 2025, at 7:00 AM UTC

    End time: Thursday, April 10, 2025, at 6:00 PM UTC

    Preliminary root cause: A recent change caused license information to incorrectly populate, leading to impact.

    Next steps:

    • To help prevent similar impact in the future, we're further reviewing our testing and validation processes prior to deployment.

    This is the final update for the event.
