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

    1. May I please know whether you’re using a Windows or Mac operating system? Please share the edition and version running on your device.
    2. Also, could you let me know whether you have an Office 365 Personal, Family, or Business subscription?
    3. What exact error message do you see in the Office apps when trying to activate them?
    4. Is your subscription active under your Microsoft account here?

    Please sign in with your Microsoft account using the link below to check whether your subscription is active.
