I installed an update to Office 2016 for Mac that I use an Office 365 subscription to activate. Apparently there is an issue with the update that is deactivating the software and freezing during an attempted reactivation. Office 365 Support says my issue is not isolated and after looking on Twitter it appears that is the case.
Yep. I went through all the “troubleshooting” steps this morning thinking it was on my end. Brought back horrible PC memories. It did eventually activate… for now. Thanks for sharing.
