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.

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

And as soon as it was found… activation process began.

To finally give us the Good News! Office for Mac 2016 from Office 365 package was Activated.

CS6, CS5, CS4, Acrobat XI, Acrobat X, or Acrobat 9

A single license for Adobe CS6 and earlier applications lets you install an app on two computers. However, you can use the application on only one computer at a time.

To install the application on a third computer, deactivate the application on the computer on which you no longer want to use the software. Then, activate it on the new computer.

1. Can't access your old computer? If you can't access your previous computer (for example, you reformatted the hard drive or lost the computer), don't worry. We can help you deactivate your app from your old device. Make sure that you have your serial number or Adobe ID handy, and then contact us.

2. Uninstalled your app without deactivating? Uninstalling the app from a computer does not necessarily deactivate its license. If you uninstalled your app and are getting a message that you've exceeded your activation limit, try reinstalling the app on the old computer. Then, follow the steps below to deactivate the app on the old computer and activate it on your new one.

3. Want to deactivate your application?Deactivation disconnects an application from a valid user license. Once deactivated, you can reactivate at any time, if you choose.
