Cannot login to activate Word/Excel 2016 - Activate form returns blank page.
After updating OSX to latest edition of 10.13.3 and iWork Apps I cannot login to my Microsoft account. Attempted login returns a blank page with nowhere to enter login credentials. Both Word 2016 and Excel 2016 return Get Started/Activate pages with no access to Activation fields.

BTW, migrating MacOS High Sierra from one Mac mini to another is not very tolerant of non-Apple Apps.
It's not exactly Apple's fault. Apple's Migration assistant does copy that license file correctly as an exact copy. Microsoft created a hashed license file based on the system ID and just copying the file does not give you access, because you are now on a different system ID. If you copied it back as a way to repair the computer, it would work. Ever since Autodesk won against Vernor in the 9th Circuit Court District, a lot of companies are making licensing more difficult. The top 3 troublesome licenses to deal with are Microsoft, Autodesk and Adobe.

Well now, after several days of frustration attempting to solve this 'Activate' requirement, suddenly I was able to activate Office.
Problem solved... How? Don't know, but now able to use Office 2016 components.
Thanks to all who made suggestions.
