Please check the subscription status now:
Close all Office apps.
Go to your Services & subscriptions page.
If prompted, choose Sign in and enter the Microsoft account email and password associated with your
Microsoft 365 subscription.
Review the details under the Subscriptions heading or Cancelled subscriptions heading.
If your subscription has expired, you can renew it by following the steps in Renew Microsoft 365 Family.
After you renew your subscription, you can restart your Office apps as needed. If Office still won't activate, continue to the next step
