Office Activation Troubleshooter

Many Microsoft Office activation problems are caused by the fact that the license of an older version of Office in the Windows registry blocks the deposit of the license for the new version of Office. For this reason, it is important that you uninstall any older Office version that may be installed under the Apps before you install and activate a newer version of Office.

If problems still occur after that or if you never had an older Office version installed, the free Microsoft tool "Office Activation Troubleshooter" can help. It automatically fixes activation problems detected after you run it. If you have any questions, please contact our technical support.

You will find the "Office Activation Troubleshooter" now linked on our download page. The software supports all versions of Office 2016 and Office 2019 including Project and Visio.
