Hi, Does anybody know where to find the 'start inking' option in office 2016 for Mac? Or any other way to use the 'pen' to draw things or to handwrite. It used to be under review tab but I can not.

This feature is available to Office 365 Subscribers only. Mar 19, 2020 I've bought MS Office 2016 mac using the home use program. How can I activate my installation without creating a MS account? I have a key but there is no option to activate via key (like in the windows version). I have a MS account for my company but I don't want to mix it with my private installations. Kind regards.
