MSDN Office 2016 Activation Issues

Conan257 · 2 Nov 2015 at 17:24

I'm trying to activate Office 2016 Pro Plus using one of my MSDN keys. The programs state they are activated, but are counting down from 30 days and it seems I have a Trial Install.

Nothing happens when I try and activate the full version.

Any ideas where the issue lies? I can't activate the key on my personal account or MSDN account online, nor through the activation tool within the Office programs.

It seems one of the codes I have is a trial version... Which seems strange that Trial keys are pushed out on MSDN (and each key is unique from the look of it).

I'm not sure about MSDN, but I do know that VLK keys are currently unable to be activated

Microsoft are working on a fix

Might be a similar issue then, the tech support guys were no help as they can't offer support on Trial licenses....
