    I used to activate my MS Office 2016 using Skype phone call to Microsoft, using the ID generated when try to install it offline. I read recently that this method is not longer working.
    Can any one confirm this, please. Thanks.

    It's a way that cannot be disabled (only misused keys get flagged). Nevertheless you talk about using STOLEN keys which IS NOT SUPPORTED here :cool2:.

    Who are you and why do you copy s1ave77's post and publish it using your name? I don't like such "games"! No answer needed.
    -> Original post which obviously was copied word by word!

    If the key have not expired. Why do you call them stolen keys. For some reason this keys are not expired. Otherwise Microsoft had blocked them.

    Where do you think those keys come from? They don't grow on trees for sure :cool2:. They most likely got leaked somehow, so stolen from somebody.

    On MDL only generic keys are allowed to talk about, check forums rules.

    I do not share that statement but I respect it. As everything in life there are generally two sides. Some people favor one side, other people favor the other side.
    There is not an absolute true!!!

    Doesn't change the simple fact that it's against the forums rules hence the completely wrong forums to discuss :cool2:.

    After using O2016RTool (including converting to VL and installing KMS) is it OK to update office apps directly from File->Account->Update Now or will it probably break something?

    Don't worry. You can safely use internal Office Update.
    Updates will work without problems.

    Hopefully this is the right place to ask about Office updates.

    I've got an Office 2016 VL folder from where it is installed, afterwards Project and Visio are being installed.
    I've downloaded all monthly updates with WH downloader and extracted all updates to the "updates" folder, putting those for Project and Visio in their own "updates" folder.

    After installing however, windows update still shows a bunch of updates for Office 2016. This should not be the case, maybe one or two but there are always 10 or more.
    When checking the updates offered by WU, those are already in the "updates" folder but did not get installed.
    So obviously I'm doing something wrong, can only think of two things:
    - Do I have to install Project and Visio before the main Office 2016 package?
    - Are there any updates that should not go in the "updates" folder (some msp files come in another compressed package)?

    Furthermore, the install takes a lot of time to complete (more than 30 min) compared to a fresh iso without updates.
    Any pointers will be most welcome.

    Cheers.

    Wrong thread... This tool is for C2R installation which does not use VL msp updates.

    Well in that case I'll create a new topic for it, the title of this topic doesn't reflect the C2R versions.

    Cheers.

    You could ask @abbodi1406. He certainly is the most experienced guy regarding Windows-/Office-updates.
    And as you are running a "non-standard" Office environment, it's a good idea to create a new thread for this.

    Update: There already exists a specialized Office WHDownloader discussion thread.

    Since it can be converted to Volume with O2016RTool, every KMS solution will activate it.
