    I have Office 2016 Pro Plus from MSDN. If I use the Office Deployment Tool to do a custom install (removing products I don't use) and use a local SourcePath (to point to the mounted MSDN ISO) will this cause any problems with Office updates? I ask because I read a comment stating this might be the case and I just wanted to check before I do a custom install.

    Also should I use O365ProPlusRetail or ProPlusRetail in the Product ID?

    Instead of manual XML configuration, try the process here:

    Code:

    After installation is complete, use O2016RTool to convert it to volume license and then use KMS_VL_ALL to activate.


    This is what I did to custom install Office 2016 and guess what, it was a breeze.

    I have a valid key for Pro Plus so no need to hacktivate it. In the end I just did a CDN based install. As I am on 800Mbps internet it downloads and installs as fast as from an ISO anyway.
