    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
    Oliwer Sjöberg
