We prove there are no positive solutions to higher order elliptic system \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{c} \left( -\Delta \right) ^{m}u=v^{p} \\ \left( -\Delta \right) ^{m}v=u^{q} \end{array} \text{ in }\mathbb{R}^{N}\right. \end{equation*} if $p\geq 1,$ $q\geq 1$, and $( p,q) \neq ( 1,1) $ satisfies $\frac{1}{p+1}+\frac{1}{q+1}>1-\frac{2m}{N}$ and $\max \left( \frac{2\left( p+1\right) }{pq-1},\frac{2\left( q+1\right) }{pq-1}\right) > \frac{N-2m-1}{m}.$ Moreover, if $N=2m+1$ or $N=2m+2,$ this system admits no positive solutions if $p\geq 1,$ $q\geq 1,$ $\left( p,q\right) \neq \left( 1,1\right) $ satisfies $\frac{1}{p+1}+\frac{1}{q+1}>1-\frac{2m}{N}.$
