These instructions may help with troubleshooting activation by removing all Office license files from your Mac. For example, if you previously installed a one-time purchase of Office for Mac and have switched to Microsoft 365, you may not be seeing subscription features because your copy of Office is still using your old license. I wanted to download a fresh copy of our volume license installer for Office 2016 for Mac, so I logged into the Volume Licensing Service Center and found (what should be) the correct download: 'Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac Standard'.
