    Yes I saw them previously(did a lot of research before asking here :D ), What you say will raise me another question, if I install Office 2016(not 365) I should not get new features(according to those links and details you kindly said here) so what would be the difference between channels? Or another thing, what would be the difference with msi based? If it's not getting features, it's like msi based, what will I have more than them?

    Isn't the C2R files downloaded per channel are exeactly the same regardless the SKU?

    i mean if i downloaded latest Insider bits, then choose ProPlusRetail or MondoRetail in config.xml, the new features would not be installed?

    From own experience:
    Even if downloaded from the same code base, there exist difference behaviours. Maybe identified from
    SKU (ID-number, brand name, online cloud verification or whatever....)
    Example:
    If O365ProPlus is installed: At first start, sometimes there appears a "What is new in this build" window.
    If Office2016proplus is installed from the same channel and using the same build this startup window is not shown.

    I remember the confusing search why MORPH in Powerpoint was not shown in Office 2016 ProPlus.
    It WAS the correct channel/build-number due to MS announcement, but it was not there. And in most support
    bulletins it is stated clearly: "this feature is available for Office 365 subscribers only".

    I know, these are vague arguments, but I believe there is a difference.

    Hi everyone,
    I installed last monthly version of Office 2016 and got an error about VBA/macro.
    I can not create new VBA. It does not allow me to insert new form or syntax.
    Please help me fix that.
    Thank you!

    Will it be possible to add Store App version Office 2016 support to O2016RTool so that I can convert it from retail to volume license?

    those are just branding/licensing, the apps and files are all still Office 2016
    you have to start an app after installation and agree the terms to get the license activated

    they also have equivalent Volume C2R licenses/SKUs, but didn't check them yet (no known gvlk)
    Code:
    ProPlus2019Volume Office19_ProPlus2019XC2RVL_KMS_ClientC2R
    ProjectPro2019Volume Office19_ProjectPro2019XC2RVL_KMS_ClientC2R
    VisioPro2019Volume Office19_VisioPro2019XC2RVL_KMS_ClientC2R

    Great find, thank you.
    With Office 2019, native MSI-Office Volume seems to be going eol.
    As now there is a Click2Run ProPlus XC2RVL_KMS_ClientC2R, too.
    Not only Visio and Project as with Office 2016.

    Will get OPK 16.4 and test. But no promises for any fast progress with Store Office.

    KMS activation lasts for a period of 180 days (~6 Months).
    Could be, your activation period has come to its end.

    You can use OfficeRTool's function [A] SHOW CURRENT ACTIVATION STATUS
    to check. It will show KMS activation period end date.

    If it has ended, renew activation for another 180 days
    KMS period by starting KMS_VL_ALL again.

    KMS_VL_ALL normally creates a sheduled task for
    automatic renewal, but it seems it failed somehow.
    Did you (re)move/delete KMS_VL_ALL folder/files?

    Another candidate for blocking activation is Antivirus
    program. Check AV scanning log and create exclusions
    for all files and folders used by KMS_VL_ALL.

    I'm pretty sure Antivirus is responsible here. During the
    last months they got updates to take very aggressive
    actions against "not quite legal" KMS activation solutions.

    A new OfficeRTool version (2018/January/07) was released today

    Change:
    Tool's name changed from "O2016RTool" to "OfficeRTool".
    Unpack-Password changed, too.

    Enhancement:
    Installation of Office 2019 ProPlus Retail Preview, Visio 2019 Pro Retail Preview and Project 2019 Pro Retail Preview
    from Office Insider FAST distribution channel package is possible now.

    Installed Office 2019 Retail versions will have a limited activation after first start:
    PRODUCT ID: 00398-30000-00000-AA468
    SKU ID: c3b2612d-58ee-4d9b-ad9d-7568decb29f7
    LICENSE NAME: Office 19, Office19ProPlus2019R_PrepidBypass edition
    LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 19, RETAIL(Free) channel
    BETA EXPIRATION: 12/31/2018 3:59:59 PM
    LICENSE STATUS: ---LICENSED---
    ERROR CODE: 0x4004FC05 (for information purposes only as the status is licensed)
    ERROR DESCRIPTION: The Software Licensing Service reported that the application has a perpetual grace period.
    Last 5 characters of installed product key: BWTH9
    Office2019.png Project2019.png Visio2019.png

    Retail2Volume conversion of 2019 versions not included, as official KMS GVLK-Keys are not yet known.

    No other changes were made.

    Download-links and checksums in OP were updated.


    Update from internal testing:

    2019XC2RVL_KMS_ClientC2R-license files and self generated KMS keys can successfully
    be applied. Office ProPlus 2019, Visio Pro 2019 and Project Pro 2019 Retail versions added
    to OfficeRTool's Retail2VL conversion and KMS activating subroutines. KMS activation works
    as usual.

    New OfficeRTool will be released, as soon as official Office 2019 GVLK-keys are available.

    Today, 1805 pushed to Semi-Annual Channel, is there anyway to make office stick with 1705?
    I mean instead of updating it to 8431.2153, make it go to 8201.2217

    Internal Office Update always loads newest available version in
    particular channel for install.
    You could download a new setup package using OfficeRTool. In
    download-dialogue don't accept offered (newest) Build. Just enter
    16.0.8201.2217 to fix version for download. After install, disable
    updates in File->Account->Update Options.

    Attendum:
    I'm just thinking about, if it may work to add a fixed build number
    to function
    (U) CHANGE OFFICE UPDATE-PATH (SWITCH DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL)
    If you select the same distribution channel you could up-/downgrade
    to every build-number you like. Let me play a little with this idea...
