Another account from the same organization is already signed in

Resolution 

The issue was resolved by deleting all Microsoft related entries from Apple Keychain Access:

  • Close all MS Office application
  • Go to Finder > Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access
    Or just enter “Keychain” in Spotlight Search.
  • Find and delete all entries that have a word “Microsoft” (and potentially “MS“) in both “Name” or “Kind” columns.
  • Open MS Office and try activating your license again.
