    Someone know why downloadsize of Office version vary sometimes? (tested with Monthly x64 only german)
    There is a new minor update from 25th march 16.0.11328.20222 foldersize 1,95GB.
    The previous version 16.0.11328.20158 is 2,32GB. Thats a large difference.

    So when I check the files, it's the stream.x64.x-none.dat and stream.x64.de-DE.dat which makes the big difference.

    And it's not the first time, that size makes this jumps. When I had the previous major version 1901 it was around 2,3GB, than minor updates came out and it was around 1,9GB.

    Someone know why it always changes?

    Included delta files is what make the size difference
    more size = more supported source builds (e.g. PerpetualVL2019)
    or
    more size = more different files from source build (e.g. new features)

    I uninstalled Office 2019 and installed 2016 but activation still fails.

    For the record I'm using OfficeRTool2018Dec02.

    I'll try that, but I've never had OfficeRTool install something it couldn't activate. In fact it can often activate what it didn't install.

    Side note: I tried fully uninstalling Office using Microsoft's Support And Recovery Assistance tool and reinstalling wit O2016RT but no dice.

    I have a problem the other way around: Thanks to the help here, I have downloaded the VL ISO files for Office 2016 Pro Plus. Now I would like to activate the MSI-based installation using a key for the CTR version. Is there any way to do that?

    Background:

    I am neither interested in volume licensing nor in circumventing activation in any way. In fact, we have a MAPS (Microsoft Action Pack Subscription) which exactly fits our needs regarding the internal use rights. Unfortunately, the software which we can download from the MS partner center is the CTR version.

    In general, I don't have a problem with that, but Microsoft has incorporated a catastrophic bug into Access 2016, which prevents nearly all software we have developed for our customers from running with Office 2016. Microsoft has made a fix for the bug, but -and this is the key point- that fix can only be applied against the MSI-based setup of Office 2016, but not against the CTR versions.

    If somebody is interested in the bug and its remedy: It is described in KB3115503 (I am not yet allowed to post links here ...)

    To summarize, I don't need Office 2016 licensed by a volume license server or to circumvent licensing in any way. But I need to have an MSI-based Office 2016 setup because I can't apply that Access 2016 hotfix (which is of utmost importance for us) against the CTR version. However, of course, I would like to active Office with the key from our MAPS subscription.

    Any ideas?

    In OfficeRTool, when installing from the main menu, does it matter if I choose CTR or ODT?
    When would I choose one over the other?

    I used that but Office still won't activate with the O2016RT KMS tool.
    Any more ideas?

    Okay, I activated it with KMS_VL_ALL-7.2RC2.
    It seems as though I will have to re-activate in 180 days.

    All of these tools and techniques are really confusing and they seem to be changing all the time.
    Is there a solution (other than buying the software) that results in a safe, permanent activation?

    None other than buying the software.

    @Bo
    For Office 2019 you will find a lot of usefull tools with links and how-to here
    KMS activation requires re-activation minimum every 180 days. Its part of the specification.
    Volume installation/license of Office is mandatory for KMS activation
    If you install retail you need to change license to volume, retail2volume will do that very easy
    In general, most KMS activators (recent anyway) will activate Windows/Office with correct gVLK.
    Problems users may experience may be result of lack of updates and/or insufficient AV exclusions.
    KMS_VL_ALL is up-to-date, easy to use and have top notch support

    There is more than one method to install Office and a lot of valuable information is found in OP
    A good solution is to get a VM and do test installation on. You will learn a lot.
    I myself find installation from image with YAOCTRI to be easy peasy, YAOCTRU is also a straight forward tool.
    But again, you find several tools that works flawless.
    :)

    no such tool exist
    only setup.exe installer is retail, Office source itself is neutral
