    Hi all,
    i was using until recently Office 2013 using the below retail version:

    OfficeProfessionalPlus_x86_en-us.img
    SHA1 36A70D4D1A2F42282F4D7175A37264A57DA35A91

    using a key i bought off an online store and it was working flawlessly the last years until yesterday,getting all the updates etc.

    Now when i insert the product key it say it's not valid anymore.

    The only change to my PC is that i did a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro version 22H2-September 2022 that includes the most recent updates (downloaded with Windows Iso Downloader)

    Any ideas what goes wrong here and why i cant use my key anymore?
    I dont want to mess with activators at the moment

    Thank you

    No one knows what the key it was and how many computers it was actually used on if you got it somewhere on the internet.
    It's a pointless waste of time to look for it. It would make much more sense to upgrade to Office 2021 LTSC and you won't have any problems. Especially considering that its version with SHA1 came out in 2012 as the first RTL version at all and it was changed very soon.

    Thanks for your reply but i've stopped tracking all the Office versions years ago,why are you suggesting the LTSC in particular?

    Simply because it is the most easily available at the moment for absolutely free and also the most recent that you can use.
    Of course, a recommendation is not the same as an obligation. So - decide for yourself what you want or what you do.
