Office 2016 Pro Plus won't activate

Hello we operate in a closed loop network, for us to activate Office we open a m Office product, go to Account, change product key, enter the enterprise key.  For some reason after enter the product key it gets stuck on the progress screen for about a week now.  If I cancel it wants to repair office and then perform a reboot.  Is it possible to add the product key directly to registry so when office is launched it will prompt for the "Phone Activation" option?  Or anything else that I could try?

If you mean closed loop with absolutely no internet, then you caused the problem yourself. More and more, activation requires an active internet connection. You can't temporarily connect to the internet only for the activation?
Do you have a KMS server or are you using MAK keys? enter the enterprise key. implies MAK activation.

Using the below command to enter the Product key via CMD worked. We have 32 bit office installed.
cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs /inpkey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
 After enter this command launched Office it immediately went to Phone Activation screen.
