Buy Microsoft Office 2016 – Reliable, proven, and affordable as a perpetual license

Microsoft Office 2016 may not be the latest version—but it’s one of the most reliable versions Microsoft has ever released. In countless companies, government agencies, and organizations, Office 2016 is still in daily use today and does its job without any problems. At Lizenzindustrie, you can get Office 2016 as a verified license—delivered immediately by email, at one of the lowest prices on the market.

Why Office 2016 Is Still in Demand

Today, demand for Office 2016 comes almost exclusively from the professional sector—and there are good reasons for this. Many companies operate IT infrastructures where software must run stably for years without being forced to install feature updates or new versions. Office 2016 meets this requirement exactly: It is mature, tested, widely compatible, and runs without issues on virtually every Windows system from the past ten years.

Furthermore, there are industries and business units where specific software versions are mandated for certification or compliance reasons. Anyone working in such an environment who needs Office 2016 as the prescribed version will find the right license at Lizenzindustrie—without any hassle and at no extra cost.

And finally: For everyday office tasks—writing documents, creating spreadsheets, preparing presentations, and managing emails—Office 2016 still offers everything you need. If you don’t need any of the newer features from Office 2019, 2021, or 2024, you’ll save significantly with Office 2016.

Office 2016 or a newer version—which makes more sense?

That depends entirely on your situation. If you need Office 2016 for compatibility reasons or for an existing infrastructure, purchasing it makes perfect sense. If, on the other hand, you have a free choice and there are no specific technical requirements, it’s worth taking a look at the newer versions.

Compared to Office 2016, Office 2019 offers noticeable improvements in Excel and PowerPoint, new chart types, and a longer support period—for only a slightly higher price. Office 2021 goes one step further and is currently the most well-rounded one-time purchase version. If you’re buying a new copy today and have no compelling reasons to choose Office 2016, you’ll be better prepared for the future with Office 2019 or 2021.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microsoft Office 2016

Is Office 2016 still supported by Microsoft?

Microsoft discontinued extended support for Office 2016 in October 2025. This means that no further security updates will be provided. For systems used for productive work with internet access, we therefore recommend switching to Office 2019 or Office 2021. For isolated environments or specific compatibility requirements, Office 2016 remains a valid option.

Does Office 2016 run on Windows 11?

Yes. Office 2016 is generally compatible with Windows 11, but Microsoft no longer officially supports this combination. In practice, Office 2016 runs smoothly on Windows 11 in most cases. However, for new Windows 11 systems, we recommend at least Office 2019.

Can I transfer my Office 2016 license to a new PC?

Yes. Retail licenses, such as those we offer at Lizenzindustrie, can be easily transferred when switching devices. Deactivate the license on the old device and activate it on the new one—it’s simple and at no additional cost.

What is the difference between Office 2016 and Office 2019?

Compared to Office 2016, Office 2019 offers new chart types in Excel, improved formulas, an optimized presentation coach in PowerPoint, and faster Outlook performance. It also comes with a longer support period. For users without specific compatibility requirements, Office 2019 is the better choice—at only a slightly higher price.

Is Office 2016 also available for Mac?

Yes. Office 2016 is available as a native Mac version. You can find the corresponding version in our Office 2016 Mac category.

How quickly will I receive my license key?

Immediately after purchase—your activation key will be sent automatically via email. Activation via the official Microsoft servers then takes only a few minutes.
