If you are using CrossOver 18.5 and still experiencing a problem with activation, I would highly encourage you to open a ticket with our amazing support team ("Contact Us" link at the top of the page). Microsoft changes the mechanisms surrounding activation constantly, which added to the multitude of different account types and activation methods has created a lot of trouble and agony. We do have a known bug that prevents activation with CrossOver 18.0 and 18.1 that was caused by a change from Microsoft, so you will need to be using CrossOver 18.5. From the information provided, I cannot tell which specific type of activation each of you are attempting. Log into your local user account and activate again.

For some reasons, we could not able to activate the app downloaded from Mac App Store. Then, deploy and run the VL Serializer package file on each computer that you want to activate Office as a volume licensed version. Now, check that your activation warning notice should disappear inside the apps.
