Uninstall the Previous Microsoft Office 365 product license
As you are aware, most Microsoft product installations include a 30-day free trial license. However, the trial license is not automatically uninstalled when it has expired. This leads to the paradox that it continues to show “Most features are disabled,” even after activating it using a valid license. Furthermore, some of you have ever used a KMS license to activate your Office, and now you wish to remove it so that another product key can be used. This is similar to the situation I described above. Please follow the steps below to resolve these issues.
Steps to remove your Office license
Step 1: Run the command prompt as an administrator.
Step 2: Run the following command to determine what license key you want to remove.
cscript “%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs” /dstatus
If you encounter an error, try this command.
cscript “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs” /dstatus
It should be noted that “Office16” is the codename for Office 2016. For Office 2010/2013, replace “Office16” with “Office14” or “Office15”.
Step 3: Copy and execute the following commands. Note: Replace “6MWKP” with your product key’s last 5 characters.
cscript “%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs” /unpkey:6MWKP
If you encounter an error, try this command.
cscript “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs” /unpkey:6MWKP
Now this will remove Your old office product license key.
After removing the key, Download office 365 setup just like I did in the video.
When the installation is complete, sign in with the newly created email into office 365.
After installation, close all Office apps so the license will apply.
After 90 days, when this license expires, create a new account and just sign in with a new account—no need to Download office 365 again, and Do not remove the license key this time.
