FAQ

I'm having trouble signing in

After installation, the license is authenticated with Microsoft once a month via the Internet (users do not need to perform this task manually). For this reason, make sure to connect to the Internet and use Microsoft Office at least once a month.

Activation problem

If your desktop app says “View Only (Unlicensed)” or “**** (Unlicensed Product)”, your license credentials may be corrupted. Try the solution in the recovery manual.
