asked on Office 2016 sign on issues.
Does Office 2013 or 2016 require you to sign in to their product even if you have inputted a license? Will any email account suffice or it should be the user's profile that logged into Windows 10? We have Office 365 exchange but we don't subscribe to O365 desktop subscriptions.

No it isn't necessary, this is a feature that was added to the Office Suite but if you entered a license and not using O365 you don't need to sign into anything.
Is a sign on screen showing up for you? We have Office 2016 Volume License on Windows 10 and Windows 7 machines and there is no requirement to sign on.

Interesting. I am dealing with two separate environments. It was an office 2016 volume license issue for one environment. In the other environment, The Office 365 Home subscription has like 10 subscriptions deployed. I went to office.com/myaccount to try to recover the keys for activating there. Microsoft support says there are no keys, we need to sign on or sharing a license with a new issue by sending an email to them. It's a pretty wonky subscription system they have setup. I can't keep track of all the various sites and authentication types to the office suites..
