UPDATE: 11/19/14: OneNote for iOS and Mac Prompts for Subscription after Update
After you install the latest Office 365 update, for OneNote for iPad, iPhone, iPod or Mac you receive one of the following error messages when attempting to access notebooks stored on a SharePoint site or on OneDrive for Business:
"We couldn't find an eligible Office 365 subscription for <account name>"
or
"Subscription Required: To continue using this notebook, activate with an eligible Office 365 subscription."
An Office 365 Subscription with the full, installed Office applications is now required to be able to access your Notebooks on a SharePoint Server or OneDrive for Business. We encourage customers to follow the guidance outlined below to continue to access their SharePoint Server notebooks:
Business/Enterprise customers
OneNote notebooks on SharePoint Online:
- Use OneNote Online to view and edit notebooks in the browser.
- Talk to your IT administrator about purchasing an Office 365 subscription with the full, installed Office applications.
OneNote notebooks on SharePoint Server:

UPDATE 11/19/2014: On 11/19/2014 we shipped an update for OneNote on iPad, iPhone & Mac to support educational users being able to use SharePoint notebooks. The update is available from the Apple App Store.
