Factory Reset removes all user-preferences, group and per-app containers. It removes temporary caches, keychain entries and mailbox content. Essentially, it just leaves behind the app bundles in /Applications and supporting tools such as MAU and computer-level agents.Complete Removal goes one step further by also removing apps, launch agents/daemons, and MAU. It is designed for scenarios where you want to completely remove every trace of Office from a Mac, such as a lab computer where you're performing version and UI behavior testing.

The tool has automatic detection for Office 2016, 2019, and 2021 generations - which also includes Office 365 support. The tool understands both CDN and Mac App Store-based installs. If the tool detects that the Mac is running an ancient build such as 16.9, it will automatically update it to the latest 16.16 build, which is of the same 2016 generation. Alternatively, a Mac running Office 16.24 will be updatedto the latest modern generation build. in other words, the tool won't invalidate a license by downloading the wrong Office generation.
How To Remove Office License From Mac Using License Removal Tool
The scripts use nscurl to download the packages from the Microsoft CDN (via officecdnmac.microsoft.com). If the network setup doesn't allow the machine to access the CDN, a warning will be logged in /var/log/install.log and thetool will proceed to the next command. Downloaded update packages are stored in /Users/Shared/OnDemandInstaller. To prevent tampering, the scripts verify that the downloaded PKGs are wholesome through two mechanisms 1) exact byte size match between what the CDN advertises versus the file on disk 2) the package is signed with the official Microsoft developer certificate.
Microsoft Office comes with a tool to configure and manage volume licenses called OSPP.vbs (Office Software Protection Platform). This VBScript is located in the directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX (64-bit) or C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX (32-bit). Replace the XX for the Office version (e.g. Office16).
Hi Ehrich. I am happy you like the article and thanks for the suggestion concerning the removal tool. As suggested in the link you sent, you should first try to uninstall Office using Control Panel and use the removal tool as a secondary option. It is good to know that such a removal tool exists. I was not aware. Thanks!
Thanks Dennis, your article is still helping people! Was having an issue with an old license making my new one show as unlicensed. Running the command prompt status check and removal of the old subscription worked for me! This was driving me insane! THANK YOU!!!
Hey Dennis,realy great article! Its combine many solutions to activate office 365. But there is no solution for my problem. In my case, the Network List Service says at Windows 10 that a have not a internet connection. So office 365 does not try to activate a valid license. My only workaround is, to remote the workstation out of our domain, reset the network connection und reconnect to the domain. After these stept the Network List Service says that Windows is connected to the internet und i can activade office 365 again. I have no solution for this problem. I went through our GPos but nothing special there. Any suggestions?

Transferring a Microsoft Office license or subscription from one computer to another is easy. However, note that not all Office licenses are transferable. This tutorial is a step-by-step guide on transferring Microsoft Office licenses on Windows and Mac computers.
An official Office removal tool is offered by Microsoft to the users of the Windows Operating System. There is no such tool provided on MacOS that would instantly remove the software from the system. It is a bit complex when it comes to uninstalling apps on Mac and the library files that they create with them. To remove MS Office manually, you are required to sign in the system using the administrator account.
Even if you delete the main file from the computer, the service files still remain on your disk until you remove them manually. macOS doesn't provide any default tool to find and remove the leftovers of MS Office. You have to search for them yourself. The next phase in removing MS Office files completely from the system is to delete them from the Library Folder. Here are the steps:
Named User Licensing ties the usage of Adobe apps and services to an individual user. It works well if the product and service requirements are closely associated with a user or a role. Named User Licensing provides IT admins complete control to add and remove product licenses for a user at any time. It also facilitates better compliance tracking as IT admins don't need to track machines, and can manage licenses centrally.
Apps can be downloaded and installed on client machines using various methods. For information, see App delivery strategies. Users need to sign in to license the apps. To license the apps, users can use one of the following:
Shared Device License is a licensing method targeted at educational institutions where software is assigned to a device instead of an individual. Anyone who logs onto the device will have access to Adobe's products and services. If you're new to Shared Device Licensing, we recommend getting started with the deployment guide. If you've been using Shared device licenses, see what's new.
If your institution has purchased device licenses, learn how to manage device licenses in the Admin Console. You can also learn how to create packages with device licenses using Creative Cloud Packager.
Named licensing provides several advantages as compared to anonymous or Serial number licensing. Administrators can closely track and monitor the usage of licenses. They can also centrally manage licenses assigned to a user and revoke access to apps and services, without a need to redeploy packages. Named license can also enable self-service workflows to let customers download and install products and updates. Named licenses also enable end users to use cloud services, such as add fonts from Adobe Fonts, choose file sync locations, and share and gather feedback on Behance.
Create and deploy a package that includes the Creative Cloud app. This package can contain only the Creative Cloud app or be bundled along with other Creative Cloud applications. Deploying the latest version of Creative Cloud app updates the necessary files for using named licenses.
For this scenario, if the computer is still working, you can uninstall the software and deactivate the license on the computer using that same computer. If the computer is unusable or lost, there is still a procedure you can follow to deactivate the license, but you won't have to uninstall the software.
If you purchased a new computer with Office preinstalled and you installed an Office 2016/2019 volume license without uninstalling the preinstalled version, continue and remove the registry entry of the pre-installed version of Office to get rid of Let's get started screen.
If you wish to apply for a Pain Clinic license, renew an existing Pain Clinic license, submit a name or address change for a Pain Clinic, request a duplicate Pain Clinic ID Card, select Register a Business from the menu on left.
If you no longer need Tableau Desktop or Tableau Prep Builder on a computer or you want to move it to another computer, deactivate the product key before you uninstall Tableau or you may not have the license available to activate on another computer. If you are using Tableau Desktop or Tableau Prep Builder in an environment with login-based license management, you do not need to deactivate any product keys if you want to move your installation to another computer.
For example, suppose an organization had two separate Enterprise AP licenses, one license for 2x APs spanning one year (365 days) and another for 1x AP spanning five years (1,825 days). The co-termination value would be calculated as ((1825*1)+(365*2))/3= 851 days total for all three APs. So assuming all three licenses were applied on the same day, the organization would have a co-term date of 851 days from the start date of the licenses.
Note: The organization co-termination date does not depend on the current device count, but rather the license limit. Removing devices from a network or organization will not impact the co-termination date.
Licenses are sold based on the specific model of device, so for example, an MS220-24 will require a separate license from an MS220-8. This applies even to PoE vs. non-PoE versions of devices and wireless vs. non-wireless versions for MX devices. For example, an MS220-8 will require a different license than an MS220-8P, and an MX64 license will not work for an MX64W.
Should an organization enter the 30-day grace period because of exceeding device license limits, it can be brought back into compliance either by removing devices from networks within the organization or through purchasing additional licensing. The only other time an organization will enter this 30-day grace period would be if its licensing has expired by passing the co-term date. If this occurs, the only way to bring it back into licensing compliance is through the purchase of all new licensing for active devices. For example, if an AP is added to an organization that already has five APs and licensing for ten APs, no additional licensing is required because the organization's license limit is higher than the number of APs in the organization. But if an MX series security appliance was added to the same organization, it would enter the 30-day grace period because the organization is not licensed for MX security appliances. For more information about the 30-day grace period, read the License Limit and Current Device Count section of this article or refer to the License Info article. 2ff7e9595c
