Prerequisites to installation:
[Mac Only] Remove any other copies of OneNote 2016 (including free copies from the App Store)
It is important that both of these prerequisites are met. Your first OneNote notebook is generated upon creation of your OneDrive. If other copies of OneNote 2016 are installed, license activation may fail. After activation, additional OneNote accounts can be logged into to restore old notebooks attached to a free account. It is also important to note that if a notebook is created on one device, it must be opened on all additional devices. Notebooks do not automatically sync until opened.
After activation, follow steps to open notebook(s):
On the Mac client, choose File > Open Notebook…
On iOS devices, choose the navigation button in the top left hand corner, then choose "Open More…" from the menu.
On Android devices, from the main screen, choose "Open Notebook..." and choose your notebook from the "Work or School notebooks" section.
If you run into any issue with activation on Mac, (crashing, freezing, repeatedly prompting for license), try running the following script from Microsoft:
