Microsoft Office license fix MacOS

Stand-alone Microsoft products on the mac can sometimes get confused with using the correct office license.

Stand-alone Microsoft Office apps on macOS can sometimes fail to recognize the correct license. Use Microsoft's license removal tool to sign out of all Microsoft apps and re-activate with your UW account on next launch.

Important: This will sign you out of all Microsoft apps. If you are on a UWL-managed Mac, you must start an Admin by Request session before running the tool.
