Using product key worked

I also got this message. Tried to sign in via Excel, Word, Powerpoint, all with same result.

Then went onto the My account page at office.com/myaccount. This acknowledged that I had purchased the product and the date I had installed it.

Then I noticed under the "Get Started" section there is a link to reveal my product key -this is not the same number (although starts with same letters in my case) as the number on the scratch panelof the card that I got when I purchased the product in a shop.

Then I returned to Word, selected Activate, got the sign in dialog box, and this time instead of inserting my username and password I chose activate via product key instead. Copied the key from the office.com/myaccount page, pasted it into the field, and it worked!

Summary: get product key from office.com/myaccount, use that instead of user name and password to activate the product.

Good luck!

    My computer's time was accurate. However, I was able to resolve the issue by activating from Word instead of Outlook.
