Office 2016 now at same level as Office/365

Hi folks

Office 2016 seems now to be in sync with office/365. (Monthly channel)



Click to run versions though need you to update manually from within office-->accounts

Is it possible to get an iso with the latest office updates in it?

Hi there
be careful with VL (Corporate volume licence) stuff though because it converts to Click2run with these latest windows release updates.

No problem if you have legitimate license but all those who use "those dubious auto KMS thingeys etc" will find finally Microsoft has got a grip on Office piracy (not before time in my view !!).

Ms wants to switch all VL users to Click2run -- not a bad thing in my view --will probably remove licensing from the client side to Ms servers. Should cut down on rogue / pirate copies out there.

I own a licensed copy of home and business 2016. Just that everytime I format my PC I need to download a large amount of update/data. So if I can somehow get an update image it will help :)

Hi there

before re-formatting PC why not simply image copy the OS Disk (Macrium Free or equivalent). Then restore image is simple / easy etc and you haven't lost your updates.

Microsoft would need to be exceptionally circumspect: Inadvertently messing with a genuine VL could trigger catastrophic consequences - I think they'll take the smart route, as usual, and leave well enough alone
