Office 2016 Public Preview now available Office

Not a problem, d/l in progress

Seems to be fine, tried a couple of spread sheets etc. The activation code worked. Have a nag screen about activation over the internet, 29 days remaining, activation attempts fail. Tells me that my MS account does not match my Office account. ? yet my MS account is in all the Office programs. error code 0x8004fc12. Work on it tomorrow!

Just noticed, it is for pro version and not pro plus

Right. ProPlus is for business, rather than consumer. Although Pro can be used for business too.

With ProPlus, you get Skype for Business.

Meebers, did you give an email address and password when you downloaded the trial of Office 365? If so, use that to activate it.

Thank you for posting that, I did not realize that. I thought my preview (I have 32bit) was pro plus. Just looked, yep it's pro. My 2010 is proplus, that must be what confused me

Yeah, then throw in ultimate and go for total confusion. :)

Sure did, on 365 and both when the only choice I had was the 32b version, uninstalled and then installed the 64b. I have not tried it today yet. The 365 version went bye bye when I changed from upgrade to clean.
