If you want to completely remove Office, you’ll have to uninstall it according to your operating system’s instructions. When you launch an Office app on the deactivated computer, you’ll be able to read and print existing documents, but that’s it–you’re experiencing reduced functionality. Note This process doesn’t actually uninstall Office applications. Then go to C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataLocalMicrosoft and delete the Office folder. Your system should also have an Office folder in the Task Scheduler, I always delete this too. Next to the listing for the computer you wish to remove Office from, click Deactivate. Make sure you delete everything under C:ProgramData and C:Program Files (x86) thats office related, also under the Microsoft folder in these directories. You’ll see a “Manage installs” section.


Click your settings gear, and select Office 365 settings.You can follow the instructions in the video above, or: If it’s essential that you install Office on a sixth computer, you’ll need to deactivate one of your five to make room. You can follow these instructions for installing Office applications associated with your Office 365 for Business account, but what happens if you reach your maximum limit of five installs? You’ll see a warning telling you that your install limit has been reached. For example, you might want to install Office 2016 on a PC you use at work, a laptop you use while traveling, and a Mac you use at home.
