Hi,

You may try to export the following registry keys and delete from computer.

(Important Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it.)

1. Close activation screen.

2. On the Start menu, click Run.

3. Type regedit, and then press Enter.

4. Select the following key in the registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\OEM

5. Right click the OEM value and click File>Export.

6. Save the key.

7. Once the key is backed-up, click on Edit>Delete.

8. Repeat steps 4-7 with following key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\OEM

9. Exit Registry Editor.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Steve Fan
