I’ve a iMac & MacBook Pro and each computer has their own single user license for Word, Excel, PP, and OneNote. Previously, each computer had activated licenses and no problems existed.

on the MBP, suddenly i get this message (see below) about activating office 365, which i do not want nor need as i paid for the single user license.

Searching MS only tells me how to activate the office 365 license, not the single use license, which was already previously established.

1. what caused the license to not be activated for the MBP? A recent update? The iMac had a MS update earlier this week and still no issues with the license. I do not want this to occur again. Fyi, i did use this MPB while in Thailand and had no issues. I seldom use this MPB and recall seeing this issue about 3-months ago after an update was installed, but dismissed it until now.

2. what is needed to get the single user license activated for the MBP? i can easily reinstall if necessary.

You might get better results if you post this query on the sister site, Tek-Tips... they are lots of help when it comes to computer issues.

fyi, problem resolved by simply "logging in" and refreshing the license.

the "message" delivered led me to believe it was for the subscription license.
 
As I stated over at Tek-Tips, although I have a MS Office 2019 license, I use Excel 365 at no cost on my iPad and am able to do 85% of what I need there. I just have to be logged in to MS.
