Popup on Microsoft Office apps

Getting a Microsoft Office cannot verify the license for this product.  You should repair the office program by using control panel.  When I try to use repair it says I am not online which is false.  How can I fix it?

You do need a license to run Microsoft Office.

Office is a Microsoft product.

If you have your license key, you could simply remove / reinstall office (second section - Installation and License Key Options).

Microsoft Office - Product and License Information 

Three of the ways to “get” Office Software:

Purchase Microsoft Office when you purchase your computer (look for your license key with your purchase paperwork),

Receive a “free one year subscription to Office 365 when you purchase the computer (quite rare).  If you have trouble with this exact type of “installed” Office, contact HP Support for recovery options.

Purchase Office separately from Microsoft or other merchant.

 Please Read

 Microsoft - Activate Office

What if:  “I found Office already installed on the computer.”

Except as noted, any “pre-installed” Office software is a “Trial” version.

Trial software cannot be activated nor can it be “recovered”.

Regardless, Microsoft Office software belongs to - and is under the control of - Microsoft.
