Regarding this issue. When you buy Office without a subscription, you can install Office on a single computer. That's why you might see activation errors if you try to install Office on another computer, or on the same computer after a hardware change. If you follow the terms of the Microsoft License Terms, you can reactivate Office by telephone:
1/ In the Activation Wizard, select the option to activate by telephone. (If this option is disabled, you're using Office 365, which doesn't support telephone activation.)
2/ Contact data https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/-telep...
3/ When prompted by the Product Activation Center, provide the Installation ID that's shown in the Activation Wizard under Step 2.
4/ The Product Activation Center will provide a Confirmation ID that you enter in the Activation Wizard under Step 3.
5/ Select Next and follow the prompts to complete the activation process.
If you have any questions. let me know
