Can't install Office as it's asking for a key number. I have a license code from Stacksocial Marketplace/Retailer, where I purchased Office Pro 2021 from this week on Monday. I need to know how to proceed ...

Office 365 apps keep asking for sign in

I thought this was solved. But a day after I removed the Grace license, Office 365 started asking for sign in again. Same behaviour as before. So I redid the cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus and did unkeyXXXXX for the (still two) licenses listed.

This is the subsequent result of cscripts ospp.vbs /dstatus

Code:

Is this an issue? Microsoft Office 365 does not signal any problems. I am still listed as the owner of the product in word excel etc.

 

Help With Office 2013 Install

Our IT department sent a note about home use (Office 365, specifically), and this warning:

A suggestion... re-install Office 2010, then try to install 2013?

 

Discounted Office Professional Plus for sale online

Eight years ago I obtained a copy of Office Professional Plus 2010 for a non-profit organization I work with. I bought it from a company this is authorized by Microsoft to distriubte volume license software. When I logged onto the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center I was given the following:

• Link to download Office Professional Plus 2010 installation file
• MAK Product Key for volume license

Types of product keys

• MAK Product Key - Allows one time activation with a Microsoft activation server
• KMS Product Key - Allows multiple activations through a companies own activation servers

Note when you buy Office through the volume license channel you are actually buying activations. No matter how many activations you buy you only get one Product Key for all of them. You get to use the same Product Key to install Office until you exceed the number of activations purchased.

I see a number of online websites that offer Office Professional Plus 2016 and 2019 for sale at a greatly discounted price. Since these products are only normally supposed to be available through the volume license channel where are these products coming from?

Suggested scenario:

These keys may have been bought originally through the volume license channel but are being resold online. For example suppose an online seller obtained 100 activations from some company. They then sell the same MAK Product Key up to 100 times to different buyers.

Does this scenario make sense? Would that explain how these copies of Office are being sold?
