How to choose the quantity
- Choose the required quantity (1 to 5).
- You receive a licence for exactly this quantity.
- Install Office on each computer and activate it with the product key.
Setting up several workstations
Make a note of which key is used on which computer. Install Office everywhere in the same language and bit version so that templates and macros work the same way. It is best to store shared templates on a network drive. This keeps all workstations consistent – even if individual computers are replaced later.
Office 2016 or a newer version?
Office 2016 has been in use in offices, practices and public administration for many years. The interface is familiar, the programs run smoothly even on older computers, and if you work in a team with colleagues who also use Office 2016, you have the same menus and functions everywhere. Office 2016 is also one of the most affordable ways to use a full Microsoft Office without a subscription.
If you need newer features such as XLOOKUP or dynamic arrays in Excel, choose Office 2021 or Office 2024. The DOCX, XLSX and PPTX file formats have remained the same since Office 2007, so documents can be exchanged between versions without any problems.
Buy once instead of subscribing
Microsoft 365 costs money again every year. You pay for Office 2016 once, and the programs stay on your computer permanently. If you mainly write letters, maintain spreadsheets and create presentations, this gives you a full Microsoft Office at a very low price – with no contract term, no notice periods and no forced cloud use. You save your files as usual locally, on your network or with a cloud provider of your choice.
