Yet another new year and STILL can't activate office 365

So, 2025. Another new year has come and we still can't activate office 365.

I have to use Word for work, I paid for a lifetime subscription and now it's utterly useless.

I can't use any of the 365 apps I am paying MS for, I have to work on an old Windows laptop.

It's been years, can't this get fixed? Surely this should be a priority.

Until today at least I could still use Office 365, but today it's decided I need to reactivate it by signing in, which of course I can't.

I have the same concern. My interim solution was to purchase an activation key for Office 2016. Look around. You can usually find a valid license at very low cost. It works really well. Just remember to delete the Office 2016 bottle if you want to activate the license again on a fresh install of Linux.

Do you mean the activation key for 2016 works and lets you use 365, or are you using Office 2016?
I actually paid MS for 2016, butit never ran properly on crossover, crashed all the time.
Last version that worked was 2010
