Windows 10: The Office trial expired, what??

I've been running Office 2013 Professional for 4-5 years by now, the system started out as Windows 8.1. During this time the system had been restored from MR backup numerous times and had no issues with the Office licensing.

About a week ego, the system had been restored from MR image backup and had no issues with licensing until today. Started up the system and Outlook today, this is what popped up after couple of hours:





The picture is a combination of asking for and entering the product key.

After doing so and clicking on "Install" in the second image, Outlook locked up solid and had to be closed in Task Manager. Starting up Outlook again resulted in "not responding" error and subsequent force closing of the app.

Closed all programs, rebooted the system, started Outlook and it runs just fine. The "File\Office Account\Product Information" show this:





While I am glad that simply rebooting the system fixed this ailing...

What causes this sort of errors and how to prevent it to reappear in the future?

TIA...

Trial Expired and Microsoft Office

Office 365 trials are usually only for a month, never a year. So, you might have a trial and full version installed.

Click Start > Settings > Apps

Scroll down to Office 365 to see if you have more than one installed.

Schools and organizations usually have Office 365 Pro Plus, University installed. If you have Home Premium installed, that might be what you are launching. Uninstall it then restart.

Hi Shaniquewa,

How do you mean you were meant to get a year trial of Microsoft Office

Did this come with a new PC or through your school?
