I purchased MS365 this morning because my word application expired. After trying to install 365 many times, it still shows an error with word that says it is unlicensed

    Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    Could you please check if you have multiple copies of Office applications installed on your device?
    Here's what you can do:

    Run the Office uninstaller troubleshooter to remove all traces of previously installed Office applications on your device.

    Wait for the troubleshooter to finish.

    Once completed, restart your computer.

    ==============================================================

    Delete all the previous Office setup files from the Downloads folder. Then,

    Sign in with your Microsoft account here to download the Office 365 setup files -

    https://account.microsoft.com/services

    Install the Office applications and sign in with your Microsoft account that is associated with the Office 365 Subscription.

    Let me know if you still need more help.
