OK, so I solved it! If anyone (n)ever needs to know:
1: download the plist file as a .txt file > richtclick and "download as" You need safari, doesn't work in firefox.
1a: alternatively, you could just copy the code from any browser and save in TextEdit app and follow the same steps?
2: once downloaded, edit the file name and remove ".txt" so it end ".plist"
3: copy this file to your /Library/Preferences folder. This is a folder with manye "com.apple..." files.
4: give password and your all set!
I can now skip the sign in and use Office.
Hello,
I've installed office 2016 suite via the provided link on macbook 2009 + MacOS 10.11. I have not opened any of the apps. However, when running the command line:
or download it in library by command line
curl -sSL git.io/office16-plist -o /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist
Terminal returns with an error:
curl: (23) Failed writing body (0 != 1371)
I don't know how to get the plist file into the library/preferences folder as to activate office. Can anyone help :)?
