How to Resolve Microsoft Office 2021 Activation Displaying the Wrong Version

The wrong version of Microsoft Office is listed during the Office 2021 Activation

During the Microsoft Office 2021 activation, the wording Office 2019 may be seen on-screen.

After the Office 2021 activation is completed, Office 2021 will be activated. While the wording Office 2019 may appear during the activation, it does not affect the version being activated.

There is a Build of Material (BOM) issue which is causing the wrong wording Office 2019 to appear during activation.

You must continue with the Office activation. Ignore the Office 2019 wording and finish the activation to access and activate Office 2021.
