MSFT Unlinked

Question

I unlinked MSFT Office 365 in order to try LIBREOffice.

How do I re-link MSFT Office?

Answer 1

I'm sorry. Outlook is not in Programs; it is One Drive, Teams & Edge.

Do you still see your Microsoft 365 product in the list of installed applications in Windows Settings? If so, try repairing your installation.

If Microsoft 365 / Office is truly missing, you will have to reinstall using your account.

The above will only work if you have a subscription that includes the full suite, such as Microsoft 365 Personal.

By the way, I only just noticed that you chose "Android" for operating system. Is that correct?

Answer 3

Do you mean that the file associations changed?

Or are you saying that you canceled your Microsoft subscription?

Hello Sonya Strikowski, thanks for posting this in our community.

To re-link Microsoft Office 365, open any Office app such as Word, Excel, or Outlook. Go to File and then Account (or Office Account). Under User Information, click Sign In and enter your Microsoft 365 account credentials.

If Office shows “Unlicensed Product,” go to the same Account page and select Activate Product. Sign in with your Microsoft 365 subscription account and follow the prompts to complete activation.

Next, check your subscription status by visiting Microsoft Account Services and confirm that your subscription is active. If it has expired, you will need to renew your plan.

If Office still doesn’t link, you can repair it. Open Control Panel, go to Programs and Features, select Microsoft Office, click Change, and choose either Quick Repair or Online Repair.

Finally, if LibreOffice changed your file associations, go to Settings, then Apps, and select Default Apps. Reset the defaults for .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx files back to Microsoft Office apps.

Kind regards,

John Oli

2. Sign in with the Microsoft account that is associated with your Office 365 subscription. You can do this by selecting the File menu, then Account, and clicking on Sign In.
3. Follow the prompts to enter your credentials and complete the sign-in process.
4. Once signed in, your Office applications should be re-linked to your Microsoft 365 account, allowing you to access all features and services.

If you encounter any issues during this process, consider checking for updates or reinstalling Office 365 to ensure everything is configured correctly.
