Office 2016 is the second latest version in the Microsoft Office family. Microsoft focuses entirely on distribution with online installers, and makes it extremely hard to find usable disk images for offline installation. Finally, we were able to dig out some offline installers, although, these downloads are merely images of the backup media downloads, based on the click-to-run technology.
Office 2016 Test Drive
Unbelievable, but Microsoft has never given out trial versions for Office 2016. The only Office Trial version currently available is Office 365.
Purchase Office 2016
Starting with the 2013 version, Microsoft Office has brought some considerable changes. Whereas it was possible to install Office up to three computers before (depending on the edition), a license is now bound to a single computer only. Microsoft is driving the subscription model here, and restricts flexibility of the standalone editions to a minimum. Here are the purchase links to Amazon, eBay and other online stores:
- Office 2016 Home and Student
- Office 2016 Home and Business
- Office 2016 Professional
- Access 2016
- Excel 2016
- Outlook 2016
- Powerpoint 2016
- Publisher 2016
- Word 2016
- Project 2016 Standard
- Project 2016 Professional
- Visio 2016 Standard
- Visio 2016 Professional
If you prefer the subscription model (Office 365), here are the purchase links:
- Office 365 Personal
- Office 365 Home
- Office 365 Business
- Office 365 Business Premium
- Office 365 Professional Plus
Download Office 2016 Backup Images from Microsoft
The following links point to the official download server officecdn.microsoft.com. Instead of ISO format, they come as IMG images. These files are pure backup media, and can't be installed without a retail product key.
The IMG images are not the same as the "Single Image" downloads that used to be available from Digital River, but offline versions of the streaming "Click-to-Run" version, with all disadvantages associated with that. If your required download is not included here (such as Office 2016 Professional Plus) please proceed to the download instructions here.
Hashes for many Office 2016 ISO files and installers can be found in our hash database.
