I cannot for the life of me get this activated. I have removed every single file associated with MS using several tools. Removed all support files etc etc. Tried the installer and Serializer with reboots almost 6 times now. All outgoing connections blocked. No go. Keeps asking for activation. Big Sur Mac Pro 5.1 12 core. Cannot understand this one at all. Works on my 2 MBP's but on this Mac its a no go. Some help would be greatly appreciated. I got 2016 to work but I need the 2019 version
