I bought office professional plus over a year ago and have been using all the products fine so far. Suddenly a message now pops up when I try to open any office programs saying "Microsoft Office Professional Plus cannot verify the license for this product.
You should repair the Office program by using the Control Panel". I have tried this, re-entered the key I was given when I bought the product and rebooted my computer but it still isn't working and the same error message comes up?

What I did to resolve this issue was set the Windows Operating System time back to the date which I made the Windows image, then I changed the product key for my MS Office , and then did an activation. I also rebooted to double-check activation, and all works correctly without needing to uninstall and then resinstall Office. The Office installation file downloaded from MS website sets some timer or something within the OS somewhere, and once the 30 or 60 days expires, you'll get this message even if you have a different product key.
EXE file from a command prompt, and then changing the production and activate, but I've yet to try that as changing the time on the OS back to the date which I made the image works as well.
