Can I uninstall individual Office apps and reinstall them later?
Hello everyone, My C: drive is running out of space, and I've noticed that installed Office applications take up a lot of storage. I don't use Access, Publisher and OneNote for now, so I'd like to know if it's possible to uninstall these apps separately to free up space. I have an authentic perpetual Office Professionnel Plus 2016 license that came with my Lenovo laptop when I bought it. Will uninstalling these apps cause any issues with the license? And will I be able to reinstall them later if I need them? Thanks for your feedback.MandresyMar 11, 2026Copper Contributor44Views0likes0CommentsOffice 2016 Product Key Redeemed But License Not Showing in Account
Hello, I purchased Office 2016 and I'm facing an unusual issue with my product key activation. **The Problem:** When I try to activate Office 2016 with my product key, the system tells me the key was redeemed by the email address c****email address removed for privacy reasons. I have access to this email account, so I tried logging into office.com to check, but surprisingly there is NO Office license associated with this account. **What I've Done:** 1. I contacted Microsoft support. The first agent confirmed no Office was linked to that email address. 2. After a few minutes, the same agent then confirmed that the product key WAS indeed activated on that email account - but they said they couldn't help much because Office 2016 is already end-of-life. 3. When I try to sign into Office apps (Word, Excel, etc.) with that email, it says the account has no Office license. 4. However, when I use the product key, it says it's been redeemed on that email account. **The Contradiction:** There's a clear disconnect: the product key system says it's redeemed on my email, but the Office account management system says there's no license on that same email. **My Question:** How can I proceed to use my Office 2016 license? Is there a way to recover or re-link the license, or migrate it despite Office 2016 being end-of-life? Thank you for any guidance.igoronxFeb 11, 2026Copper Contributor73Views0likes0CommentsMoving Office 2019 license

Hi, since two days ago, our users who didnt upgrade to office 365 and still use office 2019 are getting an error when trying to sign in from office to their cloud account. The error is: "Your account is in bad state. Please sign-in to this account online to address the issue" Now I know support for cloud connectivity for office 2019 has officially ended in october 10, two days ago, in microsoft website its stated that: "In practical terms, what this means is that older Office versions might not be able to use all the latest functionality and features of Microsoft 365 services... No active measures will be made to block older Office versions from connecting to Microsoft 365 services if they're in extended support and are kept up to date. For example, Office 2019 and Office 2016, both of which are in extended support until October 14, 2025."https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/endofsupport/microsoft-365-services-connectivity So why it looks like Microsoft actively blocked office 2019 connection to cloud?elor21Oct 12, 2023Copper Contributor438Views0likes0Comments
