Apparently 16.17 is Office 2019 and needs a new serializer or an Office 365 subscription/account. Read this:

Subject: Re: [MacTUG] Office doesn't update to latest

 

A quick update…

 

Microsoft Auto updater just popup up and updated by Excel to 16.17 ( I hadn’t manually updated it )

 

Word wasn’t updated, but then again it was updated due to my manually doing it.

 

It still wants me to activate office….

 

————

 

Could someone try running the Office update and see if everything now gets updated correctly/nicely and let the group know.

 

Thanks,

 

Glenn

It does appear that the version of Office the campus uses doesn’t update to the latest version at this time. 

 

I manually downloaded the provided update and updated Word, it worked but now I am being prompted to sign in or activate Office.

I ran the office serializer but that didn’t seem to work as it is still asking me to activate office after doing so.

says 16.17.0 is the latest but MAU and Word - check for updates won't go past 16.16.2.
