I've just moved our small network across to network user accounts (about 15 altogether). This is because some of my staff work from 2 or 3 different desks, and we have a number of part time staff who share 3 computers amongst each other and log in to their network account from whichever computer they use. So, hot desking, effectively.

Having set this up and tried to install Office on a new computer, I got this error:

No Credentials. The system requires that you sign on to a valid account.

According to a support document, this is because I am signed into a network user account and I need to use a local user account.

So I activated using a local account on that computer, but if I log in as a network user on the same computer, Office is not activated.

Surely it's possible to use Office on a Mac when logged in with a network user account?

Does anyone have any ideas, solutions or workarounds?

By the way, this is Office for Mac 2016 (not 2011), but that version isn't available in the menu on this forum!

Thanks!

James
