  1. Can't activate Office 21 after updating to Windows 11 as Microsoft thinks license is still...


    I updated to windows 11 on my pc. I did this by wiping my partitions and using an install media usb. Windows 11 works great now, however when I download Office 21 it's saying that my license is already in use by my Windows 10 account. Everything says I need to uninstall it on Windows 10 and can then activate on Windows 11, but I have no way that I know of to uninstall on Windows 10 since I no longer have it on this PC. How can I transfer the license I have for 21 to my Windows 11 account?

    :)

  2. Microsoft Confirms Windows, Office 6-Month Update Cycle

    Microsoft has been steadily increasing stability, features and, the company hopes, attractiveness of its latest Windows 10 operating system. Recently, its Creator's Update has brought, among other features, a performance-boosting Game Mode, a 3D version of the popular and (respectably ancient) Paint app, as well as increased privacy control, something users clamored for. Now, the Redmond company has confirmed that it's looking towards a six month update cycle for Windows 10 (thus aligning it with Office 365 ProPlus), looking to streamline and increase predictability of its support.

    Microsoft released the Windows 10 Anniversary Update in August 2016, and the Creators Update made its public debut on April 11 2017, which is already close to the six-month update cycle the company is now confirming (seven months, in this case.) Now the company has confirmed that it plans to release its next step on the Windows 10 operating system on September 2017. From then on, updates should arrive in a steady cadence, on every subsequent March and September. Each Windows 10 feature release will be serviced and supported for 18 months, as is currently the case, and the company has also added that its System Center Configuration Manager will support this new aligned update model for Office 365 ProPlus and Windows 10, "making both easier to deploy and keep up to date."

    MS Office 2007 no more activated...

    I contacted a support manager and the situation is:

    1. With all my hardware modifications, I reached the limit number of activation (8).
    2. Microsoft is no more capable to force a new activation.
    3. They suggested me to uninstall and reinstall Office in order to redo an activation.

    This last point is not good for me because of the time required, specially with the online updates.
    May be, I have only to delete the product key into the registry but Microsoft is not able to confirm.
    Do you have an idea before I try to crack it?
