Microsoft pauses KB5002907 update after Office license deactivations

Microsoft halted rollout of the KB5002907 update after it caused perpetual Office 2016 and Office 2019 installations to lose licensing or become completely uninstalled. The company addressed the issue following user reports of deactivation and removal problems.

Why it matters: Organizations running perpetual Office 2016 or 2019 licenses need to avoid or delay this update to prevent license deactivation or loss of functionality.
