    Office 365 is just a brand name for susbcription products of Office 2016 ClickToRun version
    it will be carried on with the next Office versions (i.e. 2019)
    while Office 2016 usually means the legacy MSI version, and the non-subscription products of C2R

    so if you installed ProPlusRetail SKU or O365ProPlusRetail SKU, both will get the same features and updates

    at least that's my understanding :bye:

    Well, I know about subscription things, but consider this, I download office and try to install it with the script in OP, it will ask me if I want to install Office 2016 or Office 365, and I want to activate it with KMS(so no subscription in both cases) what would be the difference of installed office?

    Script adds Volume KMS activation capability to both Office versions.
    Office 2016 remains Office 2016 and Office 365 remains Office 365.

    That's exactly what my question is, the difference between these two :D

    Technically (=most of the code base) they are the same.
    But Office 365 is privileged when new features are published.
    Mind following the links in this post?

    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!

    Go to -> File -> Options -> Trust Center -> Settings:

    Macro settings -> (X) Enable all macros

    Developer Macro settings -> (X) Trust access to the VBA project object model

    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.
