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.

After you sign out of Office, you still can view and print documents from that device, but you won't be able to edit them or create new ones. If you want to use Microsoft 365 on the device, you'll need to sign in to Microsoft 365 when prompted. .
