MS Activation message when opening OneNote v2016
Hi Experts!
I use OneNote constantly (c2016), I less buy also as DeFacto, the apps Excel/Word/Outlook (v2010 - I understand that MSO2010 is no longer supported). A couple of days back, when entering OneNote I get a message to activate (see pix below along with version current OneNote and MSO),
Please advise on why I am getting this activation messages when ON2016 was free (though no problem just click it off every time) and effect is expected fi I keep just clicking it off.
Thanx!

Please excuse my repeated ignorance, I am trying to understand, what do mean by this?
you see the version numbers for OneNote? You see how they differ from Microsoft Home and Business? You also see the activation message for Office 2019 Professional Plus

- Yes I see they both differ from each other
You also see the activation message for Office 2019 Professional Plus
- That message for "activation message for Office 2019" see it in the pix I sent (also below), is this what u are referring?

I clicked on "Change Product key", and entered MS2010 key and failed. I went to OneNote File >> Account and found that my OneNote 2016 is no longer 2016 (see pix below), what's going? Mictosoft pulling a fast one on us?
Also found OneNote 2016 now OneNote desktop, will be in use upto 2025 (see pix below)
