I purchased Office 2016 ProPlus through an employee HUP program. The registration screen asked for an email or product key. So I entered an email address which triggered the company security screen which basically wanted me to verify that I was on a company computer. Since I'm not, nor am I supposed to be for the HUP, I realized I screwed up and stopped the registration/activation. Office is now acting like it's registered even though I never finished that process and I can't find a way to get back to the activation screen to select "enter a product key". I have a product key so I'd be good if I could get Office to request it again. I'd hate to have to uninstall/reinstall the suite. Any ideas?

Open word or excel then go to file then to account. And see if you have the option to change product key. If so enter your product key.
