About this tag
The licensing glitch tag covers recent Microsoft licensing errors that disrupted Outlook and Office services. In July 2025, a Microsoft Outlook outage displayed a 'license is not valid' error for thousands of Microsoft 365 users, blocking email sending and receiving despite active subscriptions. A separate bug in Microsoft Office 2024, resolved by June 2025, caused licensing validation failures for both individual and enterprise users, especially on pre-installed Office PCs. Additionally, Microsoft 365 Family subscribers reported unexpected lockouts from Office apps due to a licensing glitch. These threads discuss the scope, impacts, and troubleshooting of these licensing glitches, with a focus on Microsoft 365 and Office products.
