Office Activation required

Question

Hello guys,

ive just assigned the Office365-Suite in Intune to a device. When starting office on the device it tells me that i needs to get activated and that I have to logon with my Business Account. When clicking on log in it tells me that "This Feature has been disabled from the administrator". Theres propably a Intune-Policy that has been set, but I dont know where. Has somone had this issue before and can tell me where I should have a look? The user of course is licensed with an E3-License. And I can also see my account when i click on user information in Office..

Answer 1

Hello,

changing that GPO has helped me a lot. Nevertheless: My user now have to type in their User account and log in in order to get office licensed. When closing that window I can see that my user has already been integrated into office, but for the licensing stuff I have to log in seperatly.

After typing in my user manually everything is fine. But of course I want to have the product licensed full automatically without doing anything.

Hi @Halogeen ,
I suggest you check if you enable "Block the account signed into Office" from GPO:

Please go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Office 2016 > Miscellaneous > Please find the option "Block signing into Office":

Then you can also refer to this support article and confirm if you can get any help:

Any updates please let me know and I'm glad to help you.
