Override Office Apps from Office 365 University to Office 365 Enterprise!!!
- Jan 08, 2020
HelloDevryk !
Seems like the old license is having a grace period on your computer that you can remove using CMD as an admin.
1: Start CMD as an administrator
2: Run the following comand
cscript "%Programfiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
You will then see something similar to this, note the last 5 characters of the key
3: Then run this command, replacing <Key> with the last 5 digits previously noted
cscript "%Programfiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /unpkey:<key>
After that, restart your computer and then start Word or any other Office program, you should either be asked to activate once again, or the correct name should already be seen in the "belongs to" field.
Let me know how it goes.
Kind Regards

Hi oliwer_sundgren !
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply!
The detail that I did't mention on the post is that I was using a Mac OS and fortunately I did find information on what I was asking.
... either way, thank you for the response!
