Hi all,

My dad has subscribed to the Microsoft 365 Family since 2020 and shared his subscription with the family. The subscription has been renewed this January.

As I using Word today, a pop-up window appeared saying the My subscription has been cancelled.

I log in to my account (using the email that the subscription was shared to) and it says that that subscription has been cancelled.

Some minutes later same thing happens to my sister's account (again shared subscription).

My dad's subscription is still active and he can uses the office normally.

The subscription is clearly active but disabled on our accounts.

Any help?

    I am afraid that did not work for me. When the family account holder (my wife) tried to invite me it was rejected as I was already listed as a sharer

    Can't even try to unlink or link the main account as it says that subscriptions cannot load refresh...but reloading doesn't work either!

    Same here.

    So far, everything seems to be running fine.

    Fingers crossed!
