Processes in Microsoft 365 for setting up Office apps, redeeming product keys, and activating licenses.
Hi,
I'm Taiwo and I'd be happy to help you with your question. In this Forum, We are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.
If you have purchased "Office Professional Plus 2016" for Windows and want to use it on a Mac, unfortunately, you won't be able to run the Windows version directly on macOS. Office Professional Plus 2016 is designed specifically for Windows operating systems. However, Microsoft offers a separate version of Office called "Office for Mac" that is compatible with macOS. To use Office on your Mac, you will need to obtain a copy of Office for Mac and install it on your computer. Here's what you can do:
- Visit the official Microsoft Office for Mac website (https://www.office.com/) to explore the available options for Mac users.
- Choose the appropriate Office suite for your needs, such as Office 365 or Office 2021 for Mac. Office 365 is a subscription-based service that provides access to the latest Office applications, while Office 2021 is a one-time purchase that offers a specific version of Office.
- Once you have selected the desired Office suite, follow the instructions to make the purchase and download the installer for Mac.
- After downloading the installer, run the setup file (.dmg) and follow the on-screen instructions to install Office for Mac on your computer.
- Once the installation is complete, you can open the Office applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and others on your Mac.
I hope this helps ;-), let me know if this is contrary to what you need, I would still be helpful to answer more of your questions.
Best Regards, Thank You.
