    If you are running Monterey or newer and are using Office 2021 or better, you may be experiencing a bug in a recent update. Please try the steps on this page: Unknown Error 0x0 or License not found error in Microsoft 365 or Office running on macOS

    Following the updates in the middle of July, to run Microsoft Office on your Mac, you need at least macOS Monterey and an Office license which lets you install release 16.83 or later. (This excludes Office 2019, which won't work anymore.)

    See https://www.brandwares.com/bestpractices/2023/03/most-recent-office-you-can-run-best-practices/ and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/lifecycle/officeinstall/update-m365-office-macos-ios .
