    excuse me but i'm a bit confused about 2016-2019 releases...

    with Office 2019 what i do is:
    - use YOUCTRU to download the latest monthly
    - install 2019 with my edited xml
    - use C2R-Retail2Volume
    - activate with KMS_VL_ALL_35
    and that's all ok

    for Office 2016??
    because as I read here you use 2016/2019 version number as it is the same product (that's my confusion)
    is there a way to download the x86-x64 full source like 2019?
    i tried also OfficeRTool but again it says "2019" to download...

    Office 2019 = Office 2016 (same files, version) + some new features (controlled by product licenses)

    if you don't have genuine Office 2016 activation key, then Office 2019 is recommended
    if you are on Windows 7 or 8.1, then Office 2016 is good enough

    I have Office 2016 installed and is activated. Should I not bother upgrading to Office 2019 if they are the same? In the past I've used MS Toolkit 2.6 beta 5 to activate. I have recently uninstalled that (since it wasn't working due to windows security) and used the KMS_VL_ALL going forward. Will 2016 be converted to 2019 using the new KMS?

    Yes
    do you have MSI or C2R?

    if you have C2R and it's updated recent version, then better keep it

    all tools here download Office C2R (or generate links) from officecdn.microsoft.com

    Office 2016 MSI -> Office 2019 C2R = :nono2:
    Uninstall MSI version and reinstall with C2R version

    Got it thanks guys. I’ve been reading about scrubbers and stuff would a windows uninstall from add/remove programs be sufficient enough to make sure all is removed?

    With the C2R version do they have just a home & business version that can be activated with KMS_VL_ALL? Or is it just professional the professional plus version? Not sure if home & business has a VL license. Ultimately I’d like to try and install only what I need

    C2R have more than 30 volume SKU

    home & business don't have VL license, but Standard is close enough

    ok thanks, sorry all of these different versions are confusing.

    So my plan is to download the home & business retail then use the C2R-Retail2volume (tool?) to convert the license from retail to volume, which is something that kms_VL_All currently cannot do at the moment.

    Access for Office 365, Visio and Project have had their new "365" look today: no more 2016 or 2019 old fashioned style.

    --- EDIT ---
    Version 1909, Build 12026.20320, Language ITA

    I have noticed a change to Visio icon, too....
    Project changes to Office 365 interface, but the icon hasn't changed.
