Please be informed of an issue with my Microsoft Office 2024 license [Moderator Note: Personal Info Removed] - CDO Wraheousemaan Supervisor. The license is not working even though Microsoft Office 2024 is installed on the same device where the license was previously activated.

    Hi @Bounty Bounty

    Please note that our forum is a public platform, and we will modify your question to hide your personal information in the description. Kindly ensure that you hide any personal or organizational information the next time you post an error or other details to protect personal data.

    I understand that Office 2024 is installed on the same device where it was previously activated, but you are receiving the message, “This product is already installed on another device.”

    This can occur when Office detects a hardware or configuration change and treats the computer as a different device. In the error window, please select Contact support to transfer your license to this device. If the link returns a 404 error, open an Office app and select File > Account > Update Options > Update Now, then try the link again.

    Please note that this is a user-to-user support forum. Moderators, contributors including external Microsoft employees cannot directly intervene in Microsoft product features or access back-end systems. Our role is limited to providing technical guidance on reported issues, requests, or ideas only.

    Please also confirm that you are signed in with the same Microsoft account originally used to redeem or purchase Office 2024. If the issue continues, contact Microsoft Support and request assistance reactivating the Office 2024 license on this device.
