As you probably know, Office 2016 for Mac was released a few weeks ago, and it's much more in line with the PC version of Office 2013 we're all used to.Office 2011 for Mac is so bad that I have a Parallels install of Windows on most of my Macs, just to run Office 2013 in a Windows virtual machine.Yesterday afternoon, I caved. I get downloadable Office from the school where I teach, but they only have Office 2011 for Mac. That's the start of this story. Then, just about a year ago, I moved off of Exchange to Gmail, and haven't looked back.Although I cancelled my Office 365 Midsize Business plan, I still have my Office 2013 license for my PCs and my Office 2011 license for my Macs.Yep, there it is. Although I had Office 2013 licenses as an educator through school, I moved to Office 365 to gain access to Office 365-hosted Exchange.

Let the runaround begin.One note before I begin. After a year or so away from doing Microsoft installs, I'd forgotten just how much of a DMV-like experience dealing with Microsoft products can be. You can see my receipt right there, in the screenshot below.Are you starting to feel the dread? I wasn't. So, at only $89 for the year (with a ten buck academic discount), I bought my own license. I wanted to use Office 2016 and stop all the weirdness that I have to go through when running a Windows instance to edit a Word file.Unfortunately, while the university has an Office 2011 for Mac license, they haven't yet updated to Office 2016 for Mac, which will probably be sometime this fall.

Do you see the nice blue 'Install Office' button? Yeah, so did I. The first installLook at that 'Thank you for your order' screenshot carefully. The tl dr of Microsoft is often the same: the hassles you go through in an attempt to do what should have been a very simple process.And with that, the hassles. It's just the account of the hassles I went through attempting to do what should have been a very simple process.

A prompt showed up asking if I wanted to use my Office account or my company account. I dutifully typed in my email address and then cut and pasted my password. Then came the sign in screen. After a little whirring and blinking, the installer ran and Office 2016 for Mac was on my Mac.Clicking Done resulted in the installer launching Word, with a nice blue intro screen.

The Sign In button had been replaced by a Cancel button.Okay, fine. It wouldn't let me go any further. Since I wasn't using an or an account, I selected the company option.

Microsoft calls its product 'Office' and with that comes some linguistic responsibility. Sign into your account from there and you should be able to locate the install button.Let's take a moment to get sidetracked about the use of, you know, the English language. Please click here for Office Account Sign In. I tried logging in and was greeted with the unable to activate message below:Paris H: What email address are you trying to use?(I answered with my personal email address)Paris H: Just a moment while I look into that for you. First, my Microsoft rep was 'Paris H' (yeah, not kidding) and after selecting Microsoft Account, it asked me for my username and password again. Which one is associated with this purchase?Microsoft: Okay no worries, as I'd be happy to assist you with anything regarding Microsoft products! You will want to select Microsoft Account.At this point, I should point out two things.

Sign out and then sign back in.That didn't work, because I'd already ran into the problem of opening up Word 2013. So, having already installed Office 2016 and failed in activating it, I asked the obvious question:DG: I'm signed in, but do I need to install Office again? Should I delete it first?Paris H: If it is already installed, open up Word 2013 and then click on your name in the top right. It turns out, there was an Install button there as well.

Until the experience is complete.Paris H: Please click here for Uninstall Office 2011 from a MacThe link was to instructions for uninstalling Office 2011. After all, I was still talking with Paris H., and you just don't close the window on Paris H. Uninstalling OfficeGiven that this is a Mac and we're talking Office here, I knew in the marrow of my bones that just taking the applications out of the Applications folder and trashing them wouldn't be enough. That's got Microsoft DNA written all over it. It insists I sign in, and is giving me the unable to activate Office message.Paris H: What I would recommend you do is uninstall and reinstall the software.Yep, uninstall the software I just installed and then reinstall it so that it might activate.

If you follow the link, you'll see it advises three stages of activity: removing the applications from the Applications folder, deleting a. The instructions weren't correct, but the link was right. How do I uninstall the brand new Office I just bought because I can't use it?Okay, so I might have been getting a little testy.Paris H: Please click here for Uninstall Office 2016 for MacThis time the link was more appropriate to the problem. So, I tried again.DG: No, I have Office 2016 that I need to uninstall because it won't activate. I had just bought, installed, and attempted to use Office 2016.

Can you imagine run-of-the-mill Mac users digging in their Library folder? Can you imagine how bad it could be if someone deleted the wrong. Is this what should be removed?Yepper, the instructions Microsoft provided for uninstalling Office were wrong. There is a file com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.helper.plist. Plist files from the user's Library folder.In the second stage, the instructions state 'In the LaunchDaemons folder, Control+click or right-click com.microsoft.officeprefs.plist and click Move to Trash.' But, as it turns out:DG: The file specified in Library, com.microsoft.officeprefs.plist, does not exist.

Reinstalling Office 2016This time, rather than downloading and installing Office 2016 for Mac from the Install Office button on my receipt, I went back to the link Paris provided, at stores.office.com/myaccount/ and hit that install button. And I went on with the process. Please click the 'Close' button on the top right of the chat window to tell us how we did today.When it comes to installing Office 2016 on the Mac, at least I'll always have Paris. Plist file to remove wasn't something she could really confirm off the top of her head.Right after telling me that removing com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.helper.plist appeared to be a sound strategy, I was dismissed and my celebrity Paris H experience was at an end:Paris H: Okay, excellent and if you have troubles you can contact us back at anytime.Paris H: Thanks again for chatting with us at the Microsoft Store, we appreciate your business!MS (clearly not Paris H): Thank you for chatting with us. I was instantly told 'Yes, that appears to be correct.' and I'm guessing that if ol' Paris had to look up how to uninstall Office, knowing which.

Once the installation was complete, Word once again opened, and I tried logging in.I was able to login and was, in fact, able to activate Word. So at least that was something.Eventually, the software downloaded and I subsequently ran the installer (which was functionally identical to the first installer run). But as soon as I hit the red Install > button, I got the following screen:In the third step, the screen showed the email address I was supposed to sign in under, and it was my personal email address, the address I used to buy the software. I had started to worry that I bought the software using my personal email address and because I got an educational discount, perhaps the sign-in required one of my school email addresses. I hit the big red button.I was encouraged by one thing.
