If you have an Microsoft 365 subscription, you can sign out of Office on a PC or Mac remotely from any web browser to deactivate the installation. Because Office will sign you out of devices automatically to stay within your sign-in limit, there’s no longer a need to use this process to free up installs. For more info, see How sign in works in Microsoft 365.

Note: Signing out of Office doesn’t uninstall Office, remove Office documents, or cancel your Microsoft 365 subscription.

If you’re not sure whether your Microsoft 365 version is for home or business, see Office plans.
