Office Product Key installation error 0x80070005
The problem is clear. Windows is not able to validate your key or activate it post an upgrade of Office or all of a sudden. Since these products are under paid subscription, it’s important for the company to validate before it allows users to get full access.
Check if your Office 365 Subscription Active:
If you have an office subscription, the first thing you need to do is check if the license is still active. You will have to check this in your Services & Subscription Page.
Make sure Office Software is updated:
If you have installed Office from the Microsoft Store, you need to revisit the store and see if there is an update available. If yes, please update. In case you have installed office by directly downloading from Microsoft Website or a Disk, you need to follow the steps below:
Run Office as an administrator to complete the activation
Many a time, Office fails to activate the license because it doesn’t have the correct permission. It’s a rare situation as most of the applications already have permissions to activate their products. So maybe, running Windows 10 Office application with admin privileges might just help to activate it.
See if this works.
Activate from Command Prompt
If you know how to open a command prompt with admin privileges, open it. If you do not know, then press Windows + X, select Command Prompt (Admin).
Next, you need to copy and paste following commands and press Enter after each command. Make sure to check your Windows version.
If you have Office 64-bit:
If you have Office 32-bit:

All these should actually help, and in case it doesn’t, you might want to get in touch with Microsoft Office Support Team either on call or through chat. They will help you to fix Microsoft Office 2016 product key installation 0x80070005.

I downloaded the legitamate 30 day trial version from Microsoft's website about 3 months ago, and my trial has expired about 2 months ago. My trial came to an end on 7/22/2014, however, I am still able to use Microsoft Office at its fullest, but instead of showing 'Document title.docx - Word' in the application name, it shows 'Document title.docx - Word (Product Activation Failed)'.
Question 1: Is it the actual full version of office? (by which I mean ALL the features are enabled) DavidPostill♦
Question 2: Is this legal? Question 3: If both of the above are true, why does Microsoft allow this?

Here's someone in the same situation as you.
But, in reality, I was able to edit documents and even save them. No Problem at all in other products too like PowerPoint or Excel.
Question 1
Yes, full functions, but it will end (see Q3).

Question 2
Pretty sure it isn't..
Question 3
If you go to the link above, you'll see that for the guy:
On the last day, MS Word 2013 greeted me saying: The Trial of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 is expired. Editing in Word has been disabled.
His 'Microsoft Office has finally stopped working. Not that it doesn’t open but editing document functionality has been disabled. You can still open any file in read mode only.'
So basically the program became useless. Maybe that answers your third question - Microsoft allows this because the program will become read-only eventually, even though not in 30 days.
I'd advise you to purchase a license as soon as possible, as you're close to the 3 month period too. Otherwise your work might be affected when the day comes. Better safe than sorry.
