Office For Mac 2016 Remove Association With Microsoft Account Login

I recently bought a new 5K iMac and am setting up apps. I was limping along on Microsoft Office 2008 and decided to buy Office 2016 for the new machine. Checking mac os for program conflicts. I'm immediately turned off by the fact that I had to create a Microsoft account to install the software (using a key card bought from Amazon). Furthermore, Office keeps trying to get me to use OneDrive online storage. I don't need any of my documents online, I have no need for them there and don't like it from a security standpoint. Mac programs for lawyers. My question is: can I safely DELETE my Microsoft account now that I have the apps downloaded and installed? Or is the Microsoft account required to 1) keep using the apps and 2) keep receiving updates?

I do not want anything to do with my online Microsoft account, I just want to use Word/Excel and save files locally.

Office 365 allows (*) any user to install all Office applications (currently Office 2016) for which he/she has been granted a license on up to 5 devices; if the user installs the applications from the Office 365 portal, the installed software is automatically linked to his/her user account; if instead the is used, the software is not automatically activated, and the user is asked to sign in to Office 365 when first starting any Office program, in order to activate it. This is all fine and good, but what to do if you want to change the associated user account for an Office installation? If UserA used PC1 and thus the installed Office software on PC1 has been associated to UserA's account, and now PC1 must be given to UserB, how can I re-associate that Office installation to UserB without having to reinstall the whole package?
