Take each key, and activate them on the account. The method we use for 20 is as follows, which keeps all the activations on one live account: Thanks for all the feedback and support people! Experienced Embrace, extend and extinguish for myself I guess. I feel like i've been violated by Microsoft, and not nicely. Not to mention I had issues with activating the keys themselves, it seemed like they sometimes wouldn't go through.

So I had to create seperate accounts for each user. I've never had it work correctly with multiple keys on one account It lets you put 5 keys on one account then throws an activation error after the first one.

I tried to tie 1 key to multiple accounts but ran into the thing /u/mobearsdog ran into - as in:Įspecially if you have 5 of them. Thank you for the replies, I will try the solutions people have suggested below and will respond how it went! But the problem is since the keys are not MAK I could not use this solution, and we don't have a KMS server.Īre there any solutions? I would not rather have to create an MS account for every user that is going to use office 2016. I have searched reddit and have found this thread and tried the solutions. Googling has revealed that it is now mandatory to tie the licence key to a Microsoft account.

Now the problem with office 2016 in particular is that it requires me to sign in to an MS account if I want to activate the product. The rest of us are using older office at the moment. Some new computers arrived and with them keys for office 2016.
