Reactivate MS Office Home and Business 2021

We are having a problem reactivating the license for Office Home and Business 2021. Office was activated a year ago by creating outlook accounts and using them to activate office. We activated 25 offices on one outlook account. These days we have a problem with reactivating office on the same computers. How do we overcome that problem considering that it is a perpetual license?

    Hi, Signing in at Services & Subscriptions of the Microsoft Account associated with your 25 Offices. Here is a direct link: https://account.microsoft.com/services  Not only should signing in activate any unactivated you should see all 25 instances of your Offices from where you can reinstall them (if you can figure out which one belongs to which computer)

    Also, open one of the Apps on an unactivated Office, e.g. Word>File>Account>Top left hand side of the page it should show you the Microsoft Account associated with the Office and should be signed in. Also, on the same page it may show the Office is Activated or not Activated.

    Note: You can change licences. See this article: Manage multiple one-time-purchase Office installs that use the same Microsoft account - Microsoft Support

    Note, 25 licence is the limit for one Microsoft Account. Personally I would not recommend more than 20.
