    Office 2016 activation failed


    I am using Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Build 14295 on the slow ring.

    I have purchased Office 2016 from Microsoft online through my education account and they have provided me a key to activate Office.

    When I finish installing Office 2016, I get this image: https://i.imgur.com/zzzmjEX.png
    I am under the impression that the center image should be showing something else, other than a windows into my desktop wallpaper

    When I enter my product key, I get this error: https://i.imgur.com/Jvba6E7.png

    If I click repair now, Word restarts and I am presented with this: https://i.imgur.com/osLfSFq.png

    Clicking repair now again, Word shuts off. If I click on a Word doc I am presented with: https://i.imgur.com/y4NKsyS.png

    And if I click Accept: https://i.imgur.com/YB1Brmv.png

    What is going on? What can I do?

    Thank you

    It's best to ask MS Office questions at a forum dedicated solely to MS Office.

    Use this link to Microsoft Community forum, Office 2016, Install, Upgrade , and Activate.
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/o...ce_2016?auth=1

    When you get there, under Office Topic heading on the left, click the pointer and select Install, Upgrade and Activation.
