Office periodically checks to make sure that your Office is licensed correctly.  If activation is successful, you can continue to use Office with all features enabled.

If activation fails, Office eventually enters reduced functionality mode and displays (Unlicensed Product) or (Non-commercial use) (Unlicensed Product) in the title bar, and most buttons and features are disabled (grayed out). Reduced functionality mode helps prevent software piracy while still allowing you to view and print your Office files.

Do you see a specific error message or code, like Product Deactivated or 0x80070005?
Have you exceeded the Office install or activation limit for your Office product?

Here are some simple steps that can often fix activation issues.

Check your computer's date, time, and time zone
Run Office as administrator
Sign in to My Account page.
Update
Check for connectivity issues

Temporarily disabling firewalls, antivirus software, and proxy settings might help activation succeed. If you change one of these settings, try to reactivate Office by selecting the Reactivate button (if shown in a banner) or go to File > Account > Activate Product. Be sure to turn these services back on when you're done.

Check your firewall
Check your antivirus software
Check your proxy settings
Common Office 365 subscription issues

If there are problems with your Office 365 subscription, Office might become unlicensed. You can skip this section if you made a one-time purchase of Office.

Make sure your subscription is active
Make sure you installed the version of Office that's included with your plan (Office 365 Home, Personal, or University)
Check for a current Office license (Office 365 for business)
Repair Office

Repairing Office might fix corruption issues that cause activation failures.
