This tool can also help if you've subscribed to Office 365 but previously had a one-time purchase of Office for Mac on your computer, and aren't seeing certain subscription features. This can be due to your copy of Office still using the license of your one-time purchase and not your subscription.
Before you begin
1. Check what license your version of Office is currently using. See, What version of Office am I using?
Note: If you're looking for subscription features and your version is using an Office 365 subscription license, then you don't need to do the rest of these steps. You're already using the correct license. See When do I get the newest features for Office 365? for more info on why you may not be seeing subscription features yet.
2. If you aren't uninstalling the Office apps to reinstall them later, quit out of all Office apps. If you've already uninstalled Office, go to the next step.
