If you are having issues acquiring a license sold via Apple, remove any add-on VPN client apps, restart whatever you are using, and try again.


If you are lice sing through Microsoft…


For assistance with third-party apps, and with third-party app licensing, contact the app vendor.


Here is how to: Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support


Alternatives to Microsoft Office can include migrating to Windows and using native Microsoft tooling on native Windows, or migrating to third-party tools including LibreOffice, Apple iWork, and various other apps that can read and write Office documents, and to Google Docs and other platforms.
