Sticky Note Sign-In

Ever since the update to Sticky Notes 3.0, you're supposed to be able to sign in to the app to sync your notes to OneDrive, much the same way you would sync OneNote. However, when trying to sign in, I receive an error that there is no active Office 365
account associated with my profile. I can say without a doubt that this is not the case, I am licensed with O365 Business Essentials. Nowhere in my license description does it mention Sticky Notes. In my admin portal, there is no option to enable/disable
this feature. It's also worth noting that I have another user in my organization experiencing the same issue. We both meet the minimum requirements listed by Microsoft to use this app (we're both running Win10 SP 1803). I can't seem to find any documentation
on the issue. Any chance someone can point me in the right direction?
