What version of Excel? How you check activation status varies somewhat between versions, but if activation is not lost, your problem is likely not with Excel. If it is lost, you can chat with Microsoft to reactivate it. MS no longer offers phone activation.


Have you made any large system changes lately? Such as an OS update from a 32 bit OS to a 64 bit only OS?
