I cannot access to Publisher functionalities that should be enabled by my yearly Personal subscription at Office365. I can see my account logged in in the top right corner, but it says I have no licence! Even if I can normally use the other tools of Office365 suite.

I remember that I have used Publisher 1 year ago with my same subscription.

My subscription is active and payments are ok. Anyone with the same problem?

    Publisher has been retired. Microsoft does not support that app anymore.

    The only way to use Publisher today would be to install an older one-time payment license which includes the app, such as Office Professional 2021. If you try to purchase Office Professional 2021 from a third-party seller, be very careful, though. There are many scammers out there. (You can no longer purchase Office 2021 from Microsoft.)
