To fix this, you can change the product key for the other PCs where you installed Office. Select a method for changing the product key on the tabs below.
Uninstall Office from the PC where activation is failing. To do this, see Uninstall Office 2016, Office 2013, or Office 365 from a PC.
On the PC where you uninstalled Office, sign in to your My Office Account page with the email and password associated with the Microsoft account that was used to install Office.
Reinstall Office by selecting the Install button for a one-time purchase that hasn't been activated. For help with installing Office, see Install Office on your PC or Mac.
After you change your product key, we recommend that you create a list to manage the product keys that you've installed. To learn how, see Manage multiple one-time-purchase Office installs that use the same Microsoft account.
