Hello there,

 I have downloaded and installed Office 2016 Tech preview. However when I open word 2016 or excel 2016 ,it keeps prompting me to " To Activate Office,enter the email address that is associated with your office subscription"

I used my gmail id while downloading the tech preview so entered my gmail address and clicked on NEXT button, but it goes to a Microsoft login screen asking for user name and password.

Then I used my Hotmail credentials to login. But it still gives an error-

"The   email id  isn't associated with this office product. To activate this install please sign in with the account associated with the product."

But when I use my gmail id it still goes to the next screen where it prompts for Microsoft login. Please help

For Office2016Preview, the dedicated forum is here:

You need to have a current/valid Office365 Subscription which includes Office365ProPlus (usually only Enterprise plans have that)
