Windows 10: I have a license for Office 2016 pro plus, how I can activate it?

How can I activate Office 2016 pro plus, with my license number

:)

 

Office 365 or Office 2016

Under info for the new office listing on My Visual Studio it states.

Office Professional Plus 2016 (x86 and x64) - (Multiple Languages)
To obtain the product, follow these steps:

Step 1: Get your product key by clicking the ‘Get key’ button on the right.

Step 2: Go to the Office website by clicking the ‘Get it now’ button.

Step 3: Enter your 25-character product key and continue as directed on the site.

And for the discontinued it states.

I'm thinking option one is going to be my only option. I'm fine with that as long as I can get Outlook to work with my ISP's pop3 e-mail. Last time I tried that with the new 2016 install I could not get it to work, no way no how. All the same settings that work with the ISO install?

EDIT: I should mention, for me as far as I know, neither of these options are a subscription. They use two different keys but they are perpetual one time activation licenses. I only ran the new download briefly though, as I could not get outlook to work. I bailed and went back to what works.

Hi Raymond,

Thank you for your reply.



To answer your questions:-

• Where did you purchase the product key? Is it from a retailer? -- No.
• Did you get an error message when you open the file? -- No there has never been any error message.
• When you say "I have checked the files on 2 other computers and they open faultlessly", did you save it to an external drive and opened it to different computers? -- Not exactly. I have local storage on my home network (a Western digital hard
  drive) connected to my router by ethernet cable. The files in question are on this hard drive accessible by 2 other computers (each of which has the same Office suite installed as my laptop).
• Does the issue happen to specific files? – Difficult to be specific in that so far the screen fault has been present on 5 word files (all calendar documents) and 2 Excel files.
  

Just to be clear I do not have Office 365 Home, I have Office pro plus 2016 which, when installed has required a valid key to take off the 30 day ‘timer’. I have noticed no difference in functionality between before entering the key to
that after the key has been entered. My question remains, therefore, am I correct in stating that (apart from the reminder that a key is required) Office pro plus 2016 functionality does not change as a consequence of entering a valid product key within the
30 day period?



Hope this helps clarify matters.
