The below post is still true, but there are more differences between Office 2019 and Office 365 ProPlus (the version of Office included in Office 265) than in previous releases of Office.
(Update : Office 2019 is now available for purchase. This means you have a few options for purchasing Office 2016: a stand-alone product or as part of an Office 365 subscription. Office 365 is a cloud-based subscription to a suite of programs including Office 2016. The short version: Office 2016 is a version of the Office productivity suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc), typically accessed via the desktop.
But understanding difference between the options - most notably between Office 2016 and Office 365 - can be confusing. On Windows Server 2012 and volume license editions of Windows 8, you can use your same KMS host key to set up Active Directory-Based activation.Ĥ324.1002 update extends the Key Management Service (KMS) to support co-hosting of Office 2013 and Office 2016 on Windows Server 2008 R2.If you're looking to purchase Microsoft Office for your business, you've got plenty of options. These license files are required for the KMS host service to recognize Office 2016 KMS host keys. This download contains an executable file that will extract and install KMS host license files. To set up Active Directory-Based activation, you must be running Windows Server 2012, Windows 8, or newer.Īll volume editions of Office 2016 client products are pre-installed with a Generic Volume License Key (GVLK) key, which supports automatic activation for both KMS and Active Directory-Based Activation, so you will not need to install a product key. When an Office 2016 volume edition client is installed, it will automatically attempt to activate via either Active Directory by using its existing domain pairing or a DNS-discoverable KMS host on your organization network. If you want to activate volume license editions of Office 2016, Visio 2016, or Project 2016 with a KMS host or Active Directory-Based activation, you need to first install Office 2016 Volume License Pack.
