Office Pro Plus 2016 - Win7 transfer to Win10 licence failure
Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2016 has been running for about 2 years under Win7 (Dell laptop x64)
I now wish to transfer Office Pro Plus 2016 to a new Win10 system (Dell Inspiron 17 3793 laptop; supplied with multiple Office 365 versions - and since all deleted)
I have uninstalled Office Pro Plus 2016 and afterwards installed it on the Win 10 laptop - but the product key is rejected: "This product cannot be activated because the product key is not valid" (after running Microsoft's Activation Troubleshooter for Office 2019 & Office 2016: officeact.diagcab and launching Word 2016)
I have also tried running cscript ospp.vbs /act (as suggested in Kari's 'Office License Management Tool') but see:
... ERROR CODE: 0xC004C003
ERROR DESCRIPTION: The activation server determined the specified product key has been blocked.
NOTICE: A KB article has been detected for activation failure: 0xC004C003

So, suggestions for a possible remedy welcome.
