SSO in Office 365 ProPlus with SCA (Shared Computer Activation)
In addition to Bill's comments, that log in and activation should only appear on first use.
The licensing token system means every time after that, the background process will contact the licensing server and attempt to renew the token in the backgorund, without the need for additional username and password entering by the user.

Hi Sonia,
We have deployed Office 365 ProPlus on Remote Desktop Servers for few of our clients. All of them are getting prompted to re-authenticate every now and then. One of the clients has no proxy either but they are always prompted to re-authenticate every 30-40 days on their terminal server.
Have you seen or heard about this behaviour before? It is a pain for the clients with a large number of Terminal Server users.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Madhu Perera
Seen this article? https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn782859.aspx
If using roamig profiles, exclude this location \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Licensing and don`t use %localAppData%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Licensing to exclude
Have seen license issues on RDS farm at a customer, who was excluding %localAppData%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Licensing on request of a Microsoft engeineer, when changed to \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Licensing it al worked fine.- Hi Peter,
Are you saying that folder needs to be excluded from the redirected folders? I've seen the article but I didn't find enough information in it for the issue we're having. Thanks again for your reply.- I don`t remember the exact issue that customer was having with their Office license on a RDS farm (they had 2 issues), but because the MS articles talk about excluding %localappdata%\... and that did not work, but using \\Appdata\Local\... was working, I thought it is worth to mention it.
But yes, you need to exclude that from redirecting when using User Profile disks or roaming profiles.
