I'm trying to activate Office 2011 for Mac on my Office 365 Home Premium account and this is the error code I receive. There is nothing on the internet about out that I can find, any ideas? I do have two factor authentication activated on my Microsoft Account. Is that going to be the problem?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me!
Update: I removed two factor security and it now works. Hopefully this will be fixed shortly.

Hi,
This issue has been investigated and fixed. When using a Microsoft Account with 2-factor authentication enabled, you are now able to use an app specific password to activate your Office Mac 2011 copy.
Thanks for letting me know!
Good to know its fixed, yes we need to wait for an update released for this i guess...
