I am having trouble getting all components of Office 2016 activated, running under Yosemite. Word and Excel have been activated, but PowerPoint still thinks it is running under the 'preview' option (30 days to test the software). When I click on the 'Activate' button in the dialog that appears on PP startup, it does not go to the actual activate sequence, but acts as if it is already activated. In fact, the 'Activate Office' menu item under the PP menu is gone. I'm concerned that I am gong to reach the end of the 30 day window, and the problem will lock up on me. It seems like a flag as been set in the app and was not reset when I did activate my license for Office 2016.
- Right-click on the Start button. Select apps and features. Find the application from the list that you had the error in. (If you're using Office 365 the app will be labeled as the package and not.
- Microsoft has put out the free download of Office 2016 for Mac public preview, without any Office 365 subscription required. The new software includes support for Retina displays, iCloud syncing, and looks like the versions of Office currently available on Windows and mobile. You can begin the free download here.
If you want to activate volume license editions of Office 2016, Visio 2016, or Project 2016 with a KMS host or Active Directory-Based activation, you need to first install Office 2016 Volume License Pack. When an Office 2016 volume edition client is installed, it will automatically attempt to activate via either Active Directory by using its.
Any insights/suggestions would be appreciated. I heard from a friend today that El Capitan has an update that fixes a bug with Office 2016, but am not sure this is dealing with the same problem.

Introduction: How to Install Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac for Free
Microsoft has put out the free download of Office 2016 for Mac public preview, without any Office 365 subscription required. The new software includes support for Retina displays, iCloud syncing, and looks like the versions of Office currently available on Windows and mobile.
You can begin the free download here.
Step 1: Download the Install
Once you download the 2.6GB file to your downloads folder, click on the Office Preview Package to get started. You will be guided through the necessary steps to install this software.
Tip: I had to upgrade my OS X because you can't install Office for Mac with any version of OS X below 10.10. To see my tutorial on how to upgrade your OS X go here.
I also had some internet interruptions on my initial download to my downloads folder and had a hard time opening the package because it did not download the full 2.6GB. Make sure that you fully downloaded the package.
Step 2: Read and Agree to Licensing Agreement
The software license agreement comes in many languages, this one in English. Once you read the agreement, you will have scrolled to the bottom. Click continue to agree.
Step 3: Agree to the License Agreement to Begin Installation
You will then be prompted to agree. Once you do you will select what users of your computer will have access to the software to select the destination for install. You will need 5.62GB of free space to install. Select and click continue.
Step 4: Install Office for Mac
No License Found On Mac For Office 2016
I want all users of my computer to be able to access Office and made sure to have the available space. Now I am ready to install. I click install. I had to wait a few moments for the installation to complete. Then I was notified that the installation was successful. And my installation is complete.
