Very unusual problem.

Suddenly, after reboting MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 (running on MacBook Pro 2020 13" Intel 2.3 GHz laptop), all Microsoft Office 365 apps - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook - open in deactivated state. I have to activate the license by supplying the email address associated with the license and then everything is fine until the next reboot.

Did anyone experience the same problem?
 
^^^^I threw MS AutoUpdate in the trash long ago. I found it terribly intrusive👎

No changes / nothing was disabled or deleted. MS AutoUpdate works.
You might try the Office Reset script: https://office-reset.com
It can fully uninstall everything and delete all the license files for Office. The guy who wrote the script works for Microsoft and it works well to solve weird problems with Office on Mac.
