- Thanks so much for the reply! I should've included my troubleshooting steps. I've reinstalled office 3 times, confirmed the 19 license is active on same account I'm signed into on the laptop. On the accounts screen in Word/Excel it used to have a link above the "License set to expire" which had Other Licensing information (yes, was the 2019 license, but it wouldn't allow me select it) but after the 365 fully expired I haven't seen that again. I've tried running as admin through the install process and just basically using it out of desperation. Disabled Windows firewalls and an other silly thing that magically fixed MS issues in the past. 👋 nearly it does seem like a local issue with permissions (that install never completes, it always hangs at the end thinking another install is running, even if I clean reboot and run it immediately).
