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

Installation and activation

1. Go to Office 2016 for Mac in IUware. (You'll need to log into IUware, even if you are already logged into CAS.)
2. Click Get product key to see your assigned product key.
3. On the Office setup page, enter your 25-character product key from IUware, and click Get Started.
4. On the 'Welcome to Office Online' page:
   • If you already have a Microsoft account: At Office Online, enter your Microsoft account email address and password. Proceed to step 5.
   • If you don't have a Microsoft account: Create one, as follows:
     1. At the bottom of the page, click Sign up now and complete the required fields. UITS recommends creating an account with your primary IU email address (e.g., username@iu.edu) to ensure the least margin of error.
     2. You'll receive an email message requesting verification. Follow the instructions to finish creating the account.
        If the email message does not arrive within a few minutes, use the resend email option.
     3. Log into Office Online with your newly created Microsoft account. After selecting your country/region and language, click Continue. When prompted, enter a first and last name for the account.
5. Verify that 'Microsoft Office Home & Business 2016 for Mac' shows on your account page.
6. On the Microsoft page, click Install to download the installation file. Alternatively, download the installation file from IUware directly.
   The Microsoft account must show the 'Microsoft Office Home & Business 2016 for Mac' registration in step 5. If this is not completed, it will not be possible to activate the Office 2016 product after installation.

   If you downloaded the .dmg file from IUware, open the Finder, select Downloads, and then open Microsoft Office 2016 Installer.pkg. Click Continue.

7. Once Office is installed, a new window will open. Click Get started >.
8. You will be prompted to sign in to activate Office. Select Sign In, and then enter the email address and password for the account that you activated with the Office 2016 product key from IUware.
9. Enter your Microsoft account email address and click Next.
10. Choose Microsoft account.
11. Finish the activation process by signing in with your Microsoft credentials.
12. In the 'How would you like Office to look' interface, choose Colorful or Classic, and then click Continue >. You should then have full use of Office 2016.

Troubleshooting

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

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.

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

Enter Product Key For Office 2016 For Mac

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!
