    Okay thanks. I'll try and give feedback later on.

    Anyway to change to Mondo 2016 to receive the latest features?

    I don't know sorry, hopefully someone else will. I started with en-gb_office_professional_plus_2021_x86_x64_dvd_a6879018.iso from the links posted here.

    See at this post onwards. Add retail key and should enable Visual Refresh in LTSC, or as suggested use @zucrin script(s).

    I have a question about this "retail" license: what would happen with the Visual Refresh in LTSC, if this license expires? Right now, "cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus" reports it as a license in grace period, with four days remaining.

    zucrin, I purchased retail key and I don't have new UI, I used your cmd with the Retail key you provided and it changed to new UI, I removed your key with the osppvbs cmd and now it reverted back to old UI. Any ideas to have new UI with my retail key?

    Just for everyone's information. I have followed the instructions on Office Professional Plus 2019 and it successfully converted to Office 2016 Mondo and is activated. Thanks to @Xtreme21 for useful information and spending his time to assist, much appreciated.

    Is there a way to keep legit Office 2019 ProPlus and get this new UI look?
    I tried updating to DogfoodDevMain but no difference.

    I've used the script and the visual refresh worked only once in all apps, now eveytime I open an office app it loads the old UI (except for MS Excel, which loads the new UI always). Any way to fix it? I've Office 2021 C2R converted to VL and activated as LTSC with KMS.
