Hi Katarina,

1

Open Word.

At the top right of Word, log out of Office.

Restart (not shut down) your PC, then log back into Office, is your subscription then recognized correctly.

2

If not, log into your Microsoft account on this link, is your Office license listed correctly there.

    Please let me know which address to use, I do not wish to create yet another mail address
