Windows 10: Office 365 and Windows Activation Issue...

Mage Playz · Aug 30, 2021

First time here, so hopefully I can explain my issue with ease. So here is what's happeninguring the holidays, I haven't touched a single office app, and since yesterday, whenever I tried launching an Office App, lets say Word or Excel, an error occurs after I launch it. I tried quick repair, online repair, both gave me these errors, I dont have screenshots for that, but I found these screenshots that are similar to the errors I had: During this problem, the same goes with my Windows Activation, in control panel, it claims to be not activated whereas in settings, it is blank: My laptop came

Cortana & Office 365 Integration

We are trying to integrate Cortana with our Office 365 subscription, but it never works. Here are the steps we have done:

Turned on Cortona in the Office 365 Admin portal

We are using Windows 10 1703 – connected Office 365 service to Cortana

Did the same on windows 10 mobile with no luck, Cortana says its connected to Office 365, but sees no data and we are getting zero errors

We went rough office 365 support first and tried all fo their suggestions, they kicked us over to Windows support which is currently closed.

We are on v1703 with all updates in place, it does not work on Windows 10 desktop or mobile

any ideas? I can give you all steps 365 support had us run through if that will be helpful

Thank you

Doug

Office 365 Home and Personal Licensing and Activation Improvements Office

Since launching Office 365 to consumers, we have heard feedback from customers about the challenges in installing and using their office subscription across multiple devices. The first step in addressing this issue happened in October 2018, increasing a single user’s device limits to five (meaning they can concurrently use five devices) for Office 365 Home and Office 365 Personal. Our next step in simplifying use across multiple devices will streamline the activation of a user’s device.

Beginning in May, we rolled out the following changes to customers on PCs, followed by Mac devices in July.

For customers, here’s what stays the same:

Sign in to activate Office: Users will continue to sign in to activate Office on their devices. When single sign-on is enabled, Office detects the user’s credentials and activates Office automatically.

Sign-in limits: Users will be able to install Office 365 on all their devices and be signed in to five at the same time. This includes any combination of PCs, Macs, tablets, or phones.

It's important to stay signed in while you use Office on your device. This is what keeps your Office installation activated and ready to use.

Here are the changes that you may notice:

No more prompts to deactivate: Users can install Office on a new device without being prompted to deactivate Office on another device.

Automatic sign-out: When a user reaches the sign-in limit (five devices), instead of being prompted to deactivate, the user will be automatically signed out of Office on the device where Office has been least recently used. The next time the user starts Office on that device, the user will be prompted to sign in to activate Office.
