Help with Microsoft Office Home & Business for Mac 2021 now not working - pop up "subscription required to edit and save"

If it shows a subscription or asks to sign in, proceed to sign out and sign back in with your Microsoft account linked to your license.

I've been using Microsoft Office Home & Business for Mac 2021: Lifetime License for over a year. It worked perfectly but today I opened Word to edit a document and now get a message saying that a subscription is required to edit and save. Help! Of course I'm in the middle of a time sensitive project. Oddly, the other's I purchased for my other macs at the same time still work fine. And yes, I've Air Drop current project over to try to finish - but my issue on the MacBook still remains. So, help is needed!

What did Microsoft support say?

What does their support forum say to do?

Asked who?

If Microsoft support states to purchase 365 then do so.

OR take your laptop to court so you can use excel.
