Sep 07, 2015  Office 365: Mac 2016: Unable to Find/Run Microsoft Auto-Update Tool Hi. I have Office 365 installed for a month now, and ever since last week when I wanted to check if I had any updates pending, I was unable to find the Auto-Update Tool. Launch System Preferences and go to  Network Advanced. Next click the DNS tab and then the Add (+) button at the bottom. Now enter the following addresses: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 then click OK. If you bought a one-time purchase of Office 2016 for PC instead of for Mac (or vice versa), you'll get an ' Unsupported operating system ' error when installing. If this is the case, you'll need to contact Microsoft support. Note:  This issue doesn't apply to Office 365 subscribers. 'You need to activate Office for Mac within X days' after activating already. Microsoft is aware of and currently working on this issue. If you've activated Office for Mac 2016 but are still seeing a message that says 'You need to activate Office for Mac within X days,' please try these steps to resolve your issue: Run the License Removal Tool.
