Windows 10: Was my company able to spy on my personal computer Office activity? Advice needed.

Ryan Gordon1 · Aug 15, 2023

Hi,Any help I receive on this would be much appreciated!I have Windows 10 Home 21H2, and Office Professional Plus 2016 - these are both my personal purchases/licences.However, I made the mistake of logging in to my company MS Account using my personal computer to access my company Onedrive - for work purposes of course, not realising that because of this, I had also logged in to my personal MS Office using my company account.It was only after some time that I realised how, under the 'File / Account' section of MS Word, the User was showing as my company account - and in addition, a number

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.

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?

personally i dont its over the edge if you crack it since you buy it legally, but its better not do it
btw is that 2007 could run by serial number?
