Default Finding Activation key for MS Office 2016 Pro when programme is preinstalled

After changing my display and then returning it to previous, I have had a notice when I open a MS Office programme which tells me MS Office is not activated.




This version of MS Office 2016 Pro was preinstalled when I bought the PC as a used machine.


Although it doesn't stop me opening the programmes, I would like to get rid of the reminder notice (which occurs for all of the Office programmes).

Activation is a way of providing your user information to Microsoft so they can monitor who is using their software. If you want to get rid of the activation reminder notice, then follow the prompts and activate your software. If you do a Google search for "microsoft office activation" you will find lots of resources and videos that give you information about it.

When you activate it, you may need to pay a subscription fee. MS Office is normally purchased as an annual subscription. If your subscription was paid for over a year ago, it will probably now be due for another payment. Buying a computer off someone doesn't entitle you to use their software licences for the life of that computer.

Office 2016 is a "perpetual license" not a subscription product.



However, it is likely linked to the prior owner's account and will not be available.
