Processes in Microsoft 365 for setting up Office apps, redeeming product keys, and activating licenses.
Hi videogreg,
Welcome to Microsoft Community. They are not equivalent. It seems it is because the license is not deleted. Please try using ospp (note: select the Office 2019 or 2016 in the dropdown box) command to manually uninstall license.
