Can't get rid of expired 365 ProPlus license

schogobong · 5. Dezember 2019

Hi everybody,

Up until recently I was using MS Office 365 ProPlus, which was provided by my University. However, after finishing my studies I needed to find an alternative.

So now I am part of my family's Office 365 Home plan. The issue is that all my Office applications tell me that they are non-licensed products:

Through the "Account" menu within MS Office Word I then tried to change the license, which didn't work. Following the support link I then uninstalled my entire Office Suite and re-installed 365 Home. Unfortunately I am still facing the same issue.

After a while I realized that I can "view additional license information" or something like that. Doing that I noticed that my Home license is in fact working, but that the ProPlus version is for some reason still being recognized (the corresponding Microsoft Account has been removed from the system):

How can I get rid of that old license and the annoying message that I am using Office without a license?

Please let me know if you need any other info and thanks for your help!

That seems to have done the trick! Thank you

Hi schogobong

Do you use Microsoft Office on a Windows device?

If so:

Use this tool from Microsoft to remove all remnants of all Microsoft Office Installations:

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Uninst...

Restart (not Shut down) your PC . . .

Then re-install Office 365 and that old licence should be gone . . .
