Did the laptop come with a different version of Office installed as a trial version?

<div>
Yes, this is a lenovo laptop that had a trial office 365. &nbsp;I completely removed the trial and also ran a tool from Microsoft that removes all remnants of any remaining office installation. &nbsp; I then reinstalled office 2016 and was able to activate it. &nbsp;Two days later, it is asking me to activate again. &nbsp;I tried this about three times and it always ends up with the activate message.

Hello Everyone,<br />
<br />
I just purchased a new laptop for a user. &nbsp;I installed Microsoft office 2016 with our volume license key, but I am having a hard time activating the license. &nbsp;After I put in the license key, it still says I need to activate. &nbsp; &nbsp;I did some research and ran the Microsoft office clean up tool. &nbsp;I then reinstalled office 2016 standard and the license activated. &nbsp;Then the next day, I get the message to activate the license. &nbsp;I have called both the pc manufacturer and Microsoft and no one is able to help me.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know why my office 2016 standard will not stay activated?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

Microsoft Office 2016 will not stay activated.

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.

Microsoft Office

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
