    Hello,

    I am unable to open an old word file as the certificate has expired. I get this message.

    " Sorry, something went wrong opening Information Rights Management protected content. The revocation process could not continue-the certificate(s) could not be checked."

    I am the author of this document. The Domain server and the network in which this file was created are no longer in use. Please advise.

    Hi,

    Please follow @hassans1's reply to have a check.

    Generally, when you open a document, workbook, or presentation with restricted permission, you'll connect to a licensing server to verify your credentials and to download a use license. If the domain server and the network isn't accessible any more, you won't open these protected files.

    Based on my research, there is a workaround in this thread: Information Rights Management problem in Office 2013. You can follow @Bassam Zaghloul 's reply to have a check.

    If you can't open the file still, please contact Microsoft support directly for help. There may be other options from Microsoft support.

    If you have any updates, feel free to post back to let us know.

    Best Regards,

    Herb
