So, do I just disable updates? How do I do that? | ||

No, the problem is the software has an internal certificate that is about to expire. This is exactly the sort of scenario where I do not feel bad at all tracking down an online crack that disables the certificate check. That said, it is probably not in Microsoft's best interest for people to have a legitimate reason to discover how much easier life can be if you pirate software. | ||

As described, the licensing system will fail you into readonly locally unless you subscribe Office Clippy 365, buy Office 2024, apply Office 2021 updates, or (not listed) apply third-party licensing cracks for Office 2019. Presumably we’ll know soon if network firewalling the licensing server helps, but I expect it’ll just delay the intentional failure by a few months at best. | ||
