I bought an MS business premium license, then once installed, it does not allow shared computer activation.

Error Message:

"Account Issue

The product we found in your account cannot be used to activate Office in shared computer scenarios.

Error Code: 0x80004005

Correlation Od: BF7Dxxxx-0CB0-4EE3-8727-B995799xxxx"

I tried the following options but still, have the problem:

Option #1: I used Registry Editor to enable shared computer activation: add a String value (Reg_SZ) of SharedComputerLicensing with a setting of 1 under HEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration.

Option #2: I used the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant to enable shared computer activation

Once the above options are executed, the system does not activate the shared computer functionality and does not recognize the MS product license. As a result, the applications appear as an Unlicensed Products.

Microsoft 365 and Office | Install, redeem, activate | For business | Windows

    Hello, Neha,

    I tried all options, and definitely, MS Business premium is not supporting Shared Computer scenarios. I really need to use the shared computer functionality. Today I found this post:

    Office 365 Error Code: 0x80004005 Correlation ID: - Microsoft Community

    Please let me know if I need to change my subscription from MS Business Premium to MS Office 365 ProPlus.

    Thanks for your support.
