Office 2016 For Mac Enter Product Key

I purchase Office Home & Student 2016 for Mac. I follow the instructions on the card to enter the product key and create an account with Office.com. The same email that I used to order the product. However, I could not get to the point to install the product. Do I miss anything? I copy the screen and paste below:-Step 1: Enter product key. After initial difficulties in activating Office Home and Business for Mac 2016 in December 2015 that were solved with resetting the PRAM on my Mac, I have had no further issues. I have used all applications in the Office Suite since December 2015 and have not been required to activate Office again since then, even with updates. In the top menu bar select Finder Applications and scroll down to the Microsoft Office apps. Open any Office app, like Microsoft Word and in the What's New box that opens, select Get Started. On the Sign in to activate Office screen, select Sign in. Applies to: Office for Mac, Office 2019 for Mac. To use Office for Mac in your organization, it needs to be activated. How you activate Office for Mac depends on whether your organization has an Office 365 (or Microsoft 365) plan or has a volume license agreement. But in both cases your users won't have to enter any product keys.

Office 2016 Mac Key

Learning has never been so easy!

Simply signing into Office as another User does not change the 'Belongs to' entry in Office 2016. If the person it belongs to doesn't match the signed in person Office 2016 will start showing a licensing error.

It would be nice if there was a change owner button, or something similar, but there isn't. Luckily, it's not too hard to fix.

4 Steps total

Step 1: Open a command prompt

Use your favorite method to get a command prompt open. Winkey+R then CMD, Start then Command Prompt, etc.

Mac

NOTE - you need to run this as administrator

Step 2: Run the ospp.vbs command

Run the following command to get the last 5 digits of the product key:

cscript.exe '%ProgramFiles(x86)%Microsoft OfficeOffice16ospp.vbs' /dstatus

Step 3: Run ospp.vbs again, different options

Run the same command again, but change the options. This time you will be unpublishing the key you found in step 2. Replace XXXXX with the key from step 2.

cscript.exe '%ProgramFiles(x86)%Microsoft OfficeOffice16ospp.vbs' /unpkey:XXXXX

Step 4: Exit command prompt, run an Office app

Once you've exited the command prompt open any Office program (Word, Excel, etc.) and you will be prompted to sign in. Whatever account you sign in with will become the 'Belongs to' account.

It only takes a few seconds to do this, but I don't know why MS made it so you have to leave the apps and go CLI for it.

    I have this issue a lot and you might also need to check a few other places for like the Credential Manager

    Also you might need to clear this registry entries:
    HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftOffice15.0 or 16.0CommonIdentityIdentities
    HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftProtected Storage System Provider
    HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftOffice15.0 or 16.0CommonIdentity
    HKEYU(The Users SID)SoftwareMicrosoftOffice15.0 or 16.0CommonIdentity

    yeah you can do this, good for non-shared activation of Office 365 2016. its worth looking into the Office Deployment Toolkit from MS, you can setup Shared-User activation for systems that have multi users.

    Running the commands alone did not affect the 'Belongs to:' entry for me, though I am running Office 365, not 2016. But the comment from Josh about clearing the registry entries DID work. Thanks guys!
