I've also noticed there is a "devices" page on under my account. I tested yesterday on a machine that has been in use and was up to date, but it didn't add the hostname in the list until I signed in with that original local admin account. In order to sort this mess out and get it working as Microsoft intends, I'll need to update each machine to the latest build (I'm guessing this adds the code to send the hostname etc to ), and then sign in and start office using the original account that I used to activate it. I activate office when I'm setting the machines up on a local admin account, but any other users that use the machine obviously sign in with their own credentials. I mean any versions that were activated before the recent update - Those licenses do show in the list but without the hostname, so they remain unidentifiable.
Jimmyjamjojo when you say on the last paragraph that the older machines won't show, are you talking regarding Office 2019 activations? Or you are talking about previous to this Microsoft activation process? What the hell can I do here? We have probably 100+ licenses spread across several accounts, and none of them are identifiable anymore. Selecting the wrong one causes it to deactivate from the computer it was installed on in order to activate on the new one. There is no indication of which has been activated, date they were redeemed, nothing.
It literally just says "Office Home and Business", Microsoft's documentation simply states "Sign in with your account and office will activate" but if you have multiple licenses on the same account, upon signing into office you're presented with a list of licenses, but with no product keys and no dates. It seems Microsoft has removed the product keys for some reason, so now I have a lot of useless licenses. We go to /setup and enter the key from the card, then under services and subscriptions we can see a list of licenses, and clicking on them used to reveal the date they were redeemed, options to install them, as well as the product key. So we still use standalone versions of office, and assign the keys to a generic Microsoft account.
