How to resolve unlicensed product message on office program?

Let’s start with the verification of office renewals first.

Office renewals – unlicensed product message

It is directly linked to your office account where you need to check under services and subscriptions for the license validity. If the unlicensed product is not renewed on time, it shows you that the product is expired x days back.

If we see these messages, you can renew the unlicensed product at the moment and can get it back to the normal active state. But you must sync the product to activate.

How did the sync process work?

The sync process is the communication between your computer and the server. The office server stores your account-related information. Once you update the office program, the system talks to the server and knows its validity information.
