Help Microsoft Word Subscription Error

It seems this issue is very common among OS X users of Microsoft Office 365 except Windows users. Normally, after installing Microsoft Office 365 on your computer and activated your subscription, you can use it offline or without internet connection. But you should connect to the internet every thirty days to maintain your subscription. Microsoft Office 365 will remind you when it is time to connect.

In your case, if it is your first time to use Microsoft Office 365, make sure to activate your subscription first before going offline. That way your account is already active. But in case you are already connected to the internet but the application still cannot verify your subscription, try re-installing Microsoft Office 365.
