  4. Select Sign out next to the device.  Note that it can take up to 72 hours for Office to detect that you signed out remotely.

Deactivation does not actually uninstall M365 apps/Office from a computer. Office is still installed on the computer, but the Office applications are placed in reduced functionality mode.
