All of a sudden I'm being asked to subscribe to get Microsoft 365 but am sharing a family subscription with my husband. It says my subscription has been cancelled and directs me to the payment section. On his device it says i cannot be invited as I'm already sharing but i have lost the connection and can only view or print documents but not change or start new ones.. Can you help

    I am having the same issue.

    I am the sub user on the Microsoft 365 Family subscription.

    The main user's profile confirms the subscription is active and that it is currently being successfully shared with me.

    However when I try to use any Microsoft product (Word/Excel/Outlook/etc) it claims that my subscription has expired/been cancelled, that I need to renew my subscription etc.

    Any ideas on how to resolve

    Thanks

    Found a workaround. Try logging in as the main family member instead of trying to activate Office as a family member. Upon that, you can switch back to the family member.
