Try use OfficeRTool and install Office 2021 (newest after 2019). https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...install-activation.62571/page-14#post-1125229
Out of my misery for who knows how long It's also not clear I have Office Pro. So, do I dare tempt fate and try to get back to Office 2019 somehow? One thing I noticed is that while Visio comes up OK, Project brings up a msg. that states: "We noticed you just updated your license. Please reboot Project for the changes to take effect." if I click OK the window goes away and it all seems normal. However, if I restart Project, the same window pops up again. I remember seeing that before but it's been quite a while.
The version is the same, so there is no problem with that. KMS activation is already available without pre-registering Preview. Officially, it is not there, but in fact it has already been released. Use OfficeRTool to perform the required actions.
Just noticed something curious this morning. I was looking at Control Panel/Programs and Features and what's listed as being installed is Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019, Version 16.0.13901.20516. Does that make sense given what actually shows up when I run an app like Word or Excel (Both are Office 365, Version 2103.13901.20516)?
Yes, office build has to be above 140xx.xxxxx to qualify for 2021. Try office update File --> Account --> Update Option --> Update Now Latest current build 14026.20246 version 2105.
UPDATE to the UPDATE Completed the update. Version went to 2105 and the license issue banner is back. Obviously something in the 2105 update. Bah, humbug. Time to backtrack to a working version...arrrrrrghhhhh! UPDATE (6/3/21 @ 5:01PM): Decided to try and do another "Repair" on Office and Visio and Project. After the repair I ran Word and it showed Office 2019 ProPlus again, activation remained intact and no banners or Windows about license "issues". Project and Visio both gagged when I tried to (re)activate, but then I ran them and they showed they were activated. Project still wants me to do an app restart because of a detected license change, but I can ignore that and it works just fine. The version remained at 2103.....but discovered the 2105 version was for retail (thought I had converted to volume). I change the channel to "Current" and it now seem to be updating, to 2104 or, maybe, 2105. Let's hope I didn't "screw the pooch" by being so eager to get the latest update installed I am now back to where I was before the licensing stuff started. Thx for all the help and support..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just did that (in Word) and it tells me I have the latest version. Seems like I may somehow got onto the wrong channel? Before my Office "converted" to Microsoft 365 versions of the apps were 2105.
Sorry if this has been addressed before: Say, I install Office 365 Enterprise but exclude a program(like PowerPoint) then activate it using KMS_VL_ALL; if I later decide to install the excluded program will it be activated automatically? if not, what steps do I have to take to activate that program as well?

Got everything back to "normal", so it seems that, on my machine, version 2105 is where all the mess begins with the invalid/non-genuine license banner/window. When starting an app, it comes up as "Office 365" but shows "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 (got that before). Chk'd for updates yesterday and one was downloaded. My office is now at version 2104 (13929.20408 Click-to-Run). Which brings up another question. I tried for another update today and shows no updates available. Since Version 2105 seems to cause the banner to return and, as you state above, 2105 is required to go to Office 2021, how do I get there? Is this still an update channel issue? Or do I just wait until 2021 is released and do the upgrade at that point? As always, appreciate the help and support.....
I still do not think your problem is unsolvable, but as I mentioned earlier, you need to be above build 14xxx.xxxxx (2105 means 2021 May), Office 16.0.14026.20270 is already out. I also mentioned that there are 3 different licenses circulating for Office 2021. By the way, are you using en-US or another language? Not that it matters; but incase it is relevant. If you go through the posts you will find everything is already mentioned, I would advise you run through them again. Please notice, Perform any change while office is closed, and to see the effect open Office and close it twice.
Appreciate the reminder to "RTFM" again I am running English (American, not British Thanks and cheers.....
