• Activate Office 2016 For Mac

The following explains how to install and activate Office 2016 on a Mac.

• I am successfully activating office 2016, but I'm using the AD-Based activation now, as this is much easier (IMO) than KMS This was exactly the issue. I spun up a new PVS maintenance image for each vDisk, ran ospprearm and slmgr /rearm on each of them, then shut them down and promoted them to production.
• Not on this release but when moving from old mac book to new one (got rid of old one so not running on 2) I had to do a Microsoft office license 2016 removal and then redid the license and it worked. Found the removal tool on the Microsoft support site.

Troubleshooting

To troubleshoot installation or activation errors, see the Microsoft Guide.

Downloading Office for Mac 2016 from Office 365subscription seems an easy task. Unfortunately it doesn't always go as planned. It seems to be able to use it with corporate resources it needs to activated. While the activation of products that are bought directly at Microsoft with your standard account is trivial, with Office for Mac thru Office 365 corporate subscription requires additional setup on on-premise infrastructure including ADFS servers. As this wasn't our task and we simply got a license of brand new Office for Mac to play with, we didn't expect to have any problems with it. At least not on the activation process…

After installation of Office 365 with corporate credentials, we've started Word 2016 and got a nice screen asking for activation of Office for Mac. Since we already have product bought as corporate client we choose Sign in and follow to next screen.

Unfortunately for us just after going thru entering our corporate email address the error shows up.

Similar errors as the one below have been described on other blogs but none was able to solve our issue.

Unable To Activate Office 2016 For Mac

After a lot of going back and forth with different settings, and nothing really helping finally we've shut down one of the ADFS servers and things started to get better, where we actually get asked for password.

Shutting down the working server and starting back up the other one gave us the same problem again. It seems the blame was totally on bad ADFS server that will need to be verified further before going into production. After entering password checking for license started
