Excel 2016 Mac Asking For Activiate
Apr 17, 2016 I recently updated to Office 2016 v.15.2 and now all my Office programmes (Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint) keep requesting I activate them, every time I restart a programme. OR when the wifi is interrupted. I've just finished a fresh install of Microsoft Office 2016. When I run Microsoft Word, I obtain the start page with different propositions for creating a new document. But the cursor is a spinning wheel and I can't use the interface.
The 'Let's get started' dialog pops open every time an Office program is started, for every user who logs in, even though it is already activated. This is a domain machine with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and Office 2016 Standard volume license version installed, and was successfully activated via a MAK key. How can I keep the wizard from running for all users? The machine is a new ThinkPad, that originally had a trial version of Office 2016 on it. I uninstalled that via the Control Panel, as well as uninstalling the Get Office app from the Start menu, before rebooting and installing the volume license edition.
Why Is My Mac Asking For My Facetime Password
A second new ThinkPad, prepared the same way, shows the same symptom. However, on legacy Win10 machines I do not see the issue after installing the same Office 2016 version and activating them.
Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of the 'try-buy-activate' prompt at startup? Hi, Based on the description, I understand the dialog pops every time an Office program is started on Windows 10 Pro, but the issue doesn't occur to the legacy Windows 10 machines. On these legacy Windows 10 machines, do they have the exactly same version of Windows 10 as the new ThinkPad? The issue could be related to Windows 10 on the new machines, please run “sfc /scannow” from an elevated Command Prompt and reboot your computer afterwards, which helps repair the System files: • Right click on the Start button of Windows and choose: Command Prompt (Admin).
• If you don’t see this, instead choose: Windows PowerShell (Admin) • Behind the prompt type: sfc /scannow (note the space in the command) • Wait until the process completes. This usually doesn’t take longer than 20 minutes with a regular hard disk and takes much shorter when you have a fast SSD drive. • Restart your computer.
On these new ThinkPad machines, we can also perform a clean boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with Office activation: By the way, please also make sure you run the Office applications as administrator, check if the problem will occur then.
