Hi!
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.
Can you tell me what version of Windows are you using and whether you are running Microsoft 365 Office, Office 2024, Office 2021, or other Office versions, so I can provide you with the right set of instructions.
Also, can you specify the steps on how are you activating your Microsoft products. (please provide a screenshot of the exact error if you have encountered one).
Hello.
It seems to be fixed now. I think I updated the licence.
I am using Windows 11 and Microsoft 365 family.
Thanks,
Owen
I'm glad you got it sorted.
Any details you can provide may be helpful to other people who are looking for assistance.
For example, did you just need to sign out and then sign back in to Office? See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accounts-billing/subscriptions/sign-in-to-microsoft-365 .

The Excel program for 2008 does not open, and you do not seem to be able to do it!
