Outlook 2016 Preview activation error

During evaluation of office 2016 for OSX I run in to activation error in outlook.
After searching the internet I found this solution which seems to work.
It has been reported that this fix is only temporary and will need to be reapplied after the computer is restarted. (didn't test this)
Additionally it is not ideal because during the process all custom view settings and other customizations are lost (except for account configuration)
Since this is the only fix I found to make outlook work I can't complain.
  1. Open Terminal
  2. Type: defaults delete com.microsoft.Outlook
  3. Type: killall cfprefsd
  4. Exit the Terminal session and launch Outlook
this is the source of the fix:  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2015/03/09/outlook-2016-osx-requires-activation/
