unable to open or edit any files

[Curtis F.]

1. When I try to open a new word document a dialog box
opens that says "command not available until you renew
your license.

2. When I try to edit an existing document, it
says "command not available because the document is locked
for edit.

I am at a total loss on how to fix this
