[HOW-TO/SUPPORT/CHAT] OFFICE C2R Download/Install/Activation

Updated to 16.0.6366.2025 without any issues. Thanks for the headsup

 

Are there any downsides in using MTK for activating a fresh copy of Office 2016 or should I just use the command lines every 180 days?

 

A question, little OT. I recently formatted my PC and switched from Insider click2run to retail. Now my office program tiles in start menu are not colored anymore, but the background is the same for all the apps and is related to my theme color. This is because of retail installation or what?

No clue. I'm using standard scheme and here all looks right:

 

Is this with retail channel?

 

This will give you Click2Run Retail package:

For downloading a new RETAIL setup-package with O2016RTool just enter the correct version build string in download dialogue:

Set VNEXT Download Path >c:\test

Set Office Build >16.0.6001.1043

Set Update Location ID >

Pressing <return> at "Set Update Location ID" will use "Retail/Current Branch" (= 492350f6-3a01-4f97-b9c0-c7c6ddf67d60)
based on version build string entered before.

 

Is it possible to have 32bit and 64bit installed on same pc? Reason I ask is I need to some foot notes to be in Arabic and the divider to be aligned to the right but its english and stays on the left. So Im guessing the Arabic version will have no problems so is it possible? I only need it for study purposes, other than that I use the English standard version daily.
​

 

I have a genuine Windows 10 that's already activated but I can't activate Office 2016 Pro Plus with Microsoft Toolkit v2.6b5.
I read that this situation is possible, so, any ideas of what am I doing wrong?

To activate with KMS tool, the only ProductKeyChannel must be Volume.

 

what does this mean ?!!!

 

The fr-FR "About Word" text wasn't updated since version .1005. en-US "About Word" text is .1010
But the binaries are regularly updated (= .2036 now)

I think a simple text fragment isn't important enough to worry about....

If unsure, check file properties in Windows Explorer:

I can't understand what am I doing wrong. Still can't activate and MTK delivers this message:

---Processing--------------------------

Any ideas?

 

Could you please tell me about:

1. Windows edition and architecture
2. Office ISO name
3. The used MTK download link. And the activation method applied.

 

Both my Current and Insiders branch are 16.0.6366.2036 and 16.0.6326.1010

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration]
"ClientVersionToReport"="16.0.6326.1010"
"VersionToReport"="16.0.6366.2036"
