You might see an "invalid certificate" error when installing Office 2016 for Mac, Office for Mac 2011, or Lync for Mac 2011. This occurs because a few of our install and update packages are signed with an older certificate. You'll simply need to download a package for a newer version, which uses an updated certificate, to use for your installation. This error does not impact your license or subscription.
Note:Â If you're an admin and your installs are failing, an invalid certificate may be the cause.
