Microsoft Visio or Microsoft Project saying the License is not valid

Microsoft Visio and Microsoft Project software is not included in our license of Office 365 but licensed separately so you might get the following error when starting Visio:

We have create a fix to enable the licenses so you can use the software indefinitely on an RRU computer.

  • Close Visio or Project
  • Click the Windows start button or Windows Search icon and type SCC
  • You should see a result called Software Center, select it
  • Look for Repair Microsoft Project and Visio.  Click on it and click Install
  • Once that is done (the button will say "re-install") you can close Software Center
  • Start Visio or Project again and it should work without errors
